I am glad he's back too, but if you read carefully he does not specify what IP he's working on. Bungie has several (at least) IP's running at one time if you consider Crimson, the current new universe, and the fact that they have talked in the past bout having lots of ideas they want to pursue but that they were locked into Halo for forever. It sounds more like He and Tung have something to explore and round out before they make an official start to it with a team.Not to be a smartass, but I don't think anyone from Bungie has specified what IP they are working on.
I don't consider Crimson to be a Bungie IP. They aren't really developing anything for it, just managing and publishing the game via Bungie Aerospace.
But really it could just be misinterpreted wording. He does in fact say that he is working on a "brand new IP." But what is considered "brand new." Is that an IP that he started 3 days ago or an IP that has yet to have a game released for. And he talks about how Joe Tung and him are going to "start the construction of a brand new team and project." But from my understanding, new projects and teams can be formed and work on the same title. For example, Marcus Lehto talked on the podcast how they created a team in Halo: Reach for a water level in which the spartans could ride in a boat. It was in prototyping for about 6 months and got cut.
In all honesty, I wouldn't be surprised if he started working on a new IP (as in today being his first day back to Bungie). It wasn't uncommon at all back in the old days of Bungie. They started a few projects right after the release of Myth: TFL. Those projects being Oni, Myth II, and Halo. But I'm just not a 100% convinced that he means a completely different project than what a majority of the people at Bungie are working on.
