I was a finalist :P

Personally, I don't think Bungie would do that without an announcement. Could be a scam mate.

Erm...you probably shouldn't post the message or the link, but you could try contacting Achronos, sawnose, DrBunsenHoneydew, and urk. I'd try all of those guys and see what happens.

it very well could be. but it could also be bungie is on the verge of a great big announcement; or at the very least a return from the black out with a tiny announcement.

dont crush my dreams.

also, what was the EXACT email address it was sent from?

bungie's new game, that they introduced a "participate in betas" option for in your profile settings.

Don't worry, this would be big news if it is true, but being cautious is always the safest way to go. OP should PM the webteam for questions.

The mobile app? I didn't think they would release anything after that.

right below where your email is listed, is a little check box.

If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

If the email was sent from a Nigerian prince working at Bungie, be a little cautious.

y u got chosen and not meh??

Is what I would've said if it was real. Quite possibly a scam OP. Bungie would announce the game first.

Why do people keep saying bungie would have announced something?

They have already stated that many have gotten invites to test their new "stuff" and I'm sure testing a new IP wouldn't be out of the question.

So how about we focus on the "is it a scam or not" part instead of the "It can't be, bungie hasn't toldz me nothin yet" part shall we?

We miss you Logan.
Ask any question. I'll help with anything on site or off.

It's probably just another dud.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Post a pic, I don't really belive you.

I would say I am one of the most successful trolls in Bungie.net history.

I love that the OP hasn't replied. Troll?


That's kinda what I was thinking. I can't wait for them to release details on their next title, hope I'm actually selected for a beta.

I used to get mail from Bungie and I looked for my newsletter and my mail deleted it. :/

Was it a confirmation email that you signed up or was it an actual invite to beta test something?

If its the latter, you shouldn't talk,post or screencap it. If you want to have a chance at being in this beta or getting an invite to or future beta testing opportunities, I advise you keep quiet.

if you aren't sure if its a scam or not, see if its an email address domain is something like @bungie.net or bungie.com. If its from one of those domains, its legit. But of course like others have said, contact Drbunsen or urk.

As most people know, as soon as something is released to the public - whether they have signed an UA or not, there will always be leaks.

I'm 150% sure Bungie would prefer to announce their new IP themselves rather than having some 12 year old leak it with his mediocre youtube channel.

I remember reading in a thread from one of the Golds that they've already run some beta tests and sent email invites to some people. Maybe not actual gaming, but surveys etc.

That's a terrible way to tell if an email is legitimate or not. Emails can be spoofed, I have at least 27 pieces of proof in my junk folder right now. Check where links in the email direct. If links direct to the bungie.net domain then it is legitimate. However as you have suggested, if you are in doubt, contact someone from Bungie and they should be able to clarify.

And as always, SEND ME A PM. Please. Or really bad things will happen to you.

I don't trust e-mails that contain things that I want.

Bungie hasn't sent me anything. :'(

OP is most likely a troll. As they wouldn't send something of that caliber out without at least letting some minor details slip.
