I am 100% sure that Bungie going to release information on Destiny by 2013. And no, that's not a guess. It's an absolute fact. Why? Because of common sense.

Bungie signed a ten-year contract with Activision in early 2010. This means that they now have a little more than seven years to work with. And, being that they signed a ten-year, Activision is expecting a series. Granted, Bungie could sign another contract with Activision (if they're still mid-series, or just want to continue the contract), but I'm assuming that Activision is going to want more out of Bungie than just a couple of games.

So, from what I can see, we're looking at Bungie released information by early 2013 -- and I say that with 2013 being the limit. If Bungie goes any time past next year's E3 (which they won't, since they said soon, which implies to me that they'll do it far earlier than E3 2013), they'll be -blam!-. They'll have already killed off a third of their contract without doing anything, commercially.

Thoughts?

This has been known since the contract leak. Pretty obvious we will learn about the new game next year since it comes out next year.

Destiny is scheduled for release in Fall, 2013, so I kind of expect news this fall with a beta in the spring.

Basically, this. My guess is we won't actually find out what it is until March or April.

Just an Average Joe...

You know "soon", typically means less than six months... And closer to like, maybe a few hours, even days or weeks. But never six months.

But on that note, Christmas will be here soon guys. Don't worry.

And as others have said, this is pretty much common knowledge. Oh well, better finding out sooner as opposed to six months from now. Right?

We may or may not find out what the game is before it's shipped to stores.

You're alive?



I'm just hoping we know what destiny is before the end of the world.

This world wants to drag you down... And the weight, that guilt they want to hang around your neck, you don’t have to carry it one more step. You think they won’t let you rest, but it’s not up to them. It never was.

I'm sure we'll find out something more about Destiny before the year ends.

Bungie is making 4 games, 3 expansions. The first one is being release in Q3 2013. They're codenamed "Destiny" for the time being, that could be the real name, too. We don't know. They've been working on it (most likely) since 2007ish*, but almost definitely since 2009 if not 2007ish.

Undoubtedly since 2009. I doubt 100% of the crew was on Reach

I was just talking about the Destiny Awaits poster in ODST, but you're right, something this big (having to follow up Halo) requires more than 3 years (from end of Reach to 2013).
