It is no secret by now that Bungie has moved on to multi-platform game development after releasing Halo: Reach last September. What their next game may be is currently a mystery but a noted internet sleuth may have found some clues.
A fellow by the name of supererogatory supposedly retired from digging up secrets about upcoming games that developers and publishing companies would like to keep secret. But he has returned to Twitter to reveal some dirt he has dug up.
Doing a hunt at the US Copyright Office (search for "bungie") turned up the following names registered by Bungie back in July of 2010 - Seven Seraphs, Osiris, New Monarchy, and Dead Orbit. He also points out that three domains were registered using the same terms back in late September.
He does go on to mention that these names are registered under artwork but that these can be used in "promotion and marketing like logos."
Bungie is now under the Activision banner and what their next game may be is currently up in the air. However, these names sound sci-fi enough which is right in the developer's wheelhouse but they have done fantasy games before as well.
Here are the domain registrations that were found.
- DeadOrbit.com
- DeadOrbit.net
- DeadOrbit.org
- NewMonarchy.org
- SevenSeraphs.com
- SevenSeraphs.net
- SevenSeraphs.org
The registration information used for these seven domain names is the same as BungieAerospace.
Comments
Thats not bungie! Bungie Studios is in Washington not Arizona!
It's the same registration info that was used for "Bungie Aerospace" which is trademarked by Bungie.
The Arizona address is the name of the company used to reserve the names, Domains by Proxy, not Bungie.
