Remember the new game that Bungie was set to announce at E3 before Microsoftpulled the plug? Well, it looks like they’re gearing back up, as a new and cryptic message from the “Superintendent” has appeared onBungie’s site.
Very little can be gleaned from the image above and its accompanying text, which consists of a conversation log. It appears as though the “Superintendent” is some sort of artificial intelligence, associated with the USNC and running into a bit of trouble. If the multi-language text that has continually appeared in images and the schizoid rambling in its message are anything to go on, it needs a reboot pretty badly.
Now, since the UNSC is aHalouniverse organization, should we take that to imply that this new title will be connected to that series? Adding to the likelihood is acomment by Don Mattrickthat the company is working on aHalogame and the announcement by Microsoft thatfour titles in the franchiseare currently in development.
The whole thing smacks of theilovebeescompaign forHalo 2and it’s making me very curious as to what they have on the horizon (mission accomplished, Bungie). You can see the complete posting after the jump.
