One does not choose a destiny, his destiny is bestowed, shaped and formed, from the soul.

Had there been a small group working on it since halo 3? Or did they only start on it when they finished production of reach?

Not that we can answer this, I'm just curious to what you guys think

Well, Bungie probably always has a small team tinkering around with new technologies and their engines and such. They could have been prototyping elements of Destiny for a while now. And I mean, Jason Jones hasn't worked on a game since Halo 2, I doubt he's been sitting on his hands all this time...

Early concept probably happened during the Halo 3 era, but actual development probably occurred after Reach.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

I'd say they started thinking about it post-Halo 3, but then started to develop it after they stopped working for Micro$oft. They hinted at it in ODST (2009), so I guess that is the minimum year.

2/15/12: Francisco Porras, I'll miss you. Rest in Peace.

I've heard since H:2, but I don't know where people are getting that from. The first time I heard of it was during ODST's development.

Oh and we've said it before, but since various denizens from around the Internet were once again speculating on what else we're whipping up, yeah, we've also got a third, super secret thing in the works that you know nothing about. We'd love to tell you all about it, but as you may have learned from the proceeding sentence, it's super secret. All in due time. When we have something to show you, we'll...uh...show it to you. Until then, mind ya bizness.

This is the earliest reference I can remember. Its probably like a year before they said this though; maybe even more.

My guess is that they had people working on it at the same time as Halo 3 was being developed. Obviously Destiny had just a small team working on it, and Halo 3 was the main focus.

[Speculation]Kind of like right now, Destiny is being developed but Bungie has a small group working on the Marathon game.[/Speculation]

I would say 2 to 3 years destiny has been in development.

At least since ODST.

Swag punks, fu­­ck off!

I'd think about the time Halo 3 was made.

  • 08.30.2012 4:49 PM PDT

Been in development since around 08 I'd say. Majority of the team has been working on it since Reach shipped. That's my guess.

I'm not sure that qualifies as a reference. There's no similar symbols and whatnot. I think it's really just an advertisement for a fictional in-game corporation.

The game has probably been in the works for various employees since their work finished on Reach. That's usually how game development cycles work. Once your part of the project is totally done (gone gold) for game, you start on the next thing.

The planet with the other circle (the moon?) definitely resembles the Dead Orbit logo.

I was not familiar with that copyright, but I just did a quick google search.

Very interesting. :)

Asklon, they're a vehicle manufacturing company which had contracts for light-armored vehicles for the UNSC. They also had a base on Mars located in Seven Hills. Seven, a reference to Bungie...it all makes sense now! Bungie's next game is gonna take place on Mars
