The name of Bungie's next game accidentally revealed?

During the Activision/Blizzard conference, Bungie's mysterious new game was mentioned - and Activision may have accidentally leaked the game's name: Bungie Universe.

This would fit the game, as Bungie has a website called Bungie Aerospace with a Latin motto “Per Audacia Ad Astra”, which means “Boldly Going to the Stars”. Bungie Universe would certainly encompass the idea of stellar exploration.

"accidentally"...

[rockleex]

They might as well add:

"Where no man has gone before"

:P

[blumatt]

The game sounds cool. I kinda hope it's a space exploration game. And not just another shooter. There can be shooting, but hopefully exploring too. (ala Uncharted) Except in space!

If this is true, it will be my second most anticipated space game. My most anticipated is Starhawk.

[kyl277]

Where is the exploring in uncharted? I don't believe collectables and the fact it's entirely linear (which isn't a bad thing) means it has exploration.

[rockleex]

There's a lot of exploring in Uncharted.

Although there are times where its linear and you know exactly where to go, there are other times where you have to REALLY explore the area in order to figure out how to advance.

[ryan_s]

lol there is no such thing is accidentally revealed

[xAlmostPro]

If the name and latin translations are anything to go by it sounds like a starhawk rip off lmao

unless they make a single player only game of course although it doesn't suprise my that they're heading for another spacey type game

[shovelface88]

So any game pertaining to the stars is Starhawk now? Stop trolling, fanboy.

[xAlmostPro]

@shovelface

Oh dear..

[RBLAZE1988]

Hopefully it isn't true cause "Bungie Universe" is a really stupid name for a game.

[xxBiG_BoSSxx]

true. my guess is its just a working title. almost certainly will be renamed prior to launch.

[RBLAZE1988]

let's hope that it does...Who knows though I wouldn't put it passed activision to try and whore out the famous Bungie name like that to try and get as much gamers playing this game based on name alone like they did with the call of duty series.

[Foxgod]

Sounds like a project name to me, and not a final name.
Maybe Bungies next game will be a space shooter with rpg elements.

Maybe like Rage, in space.

[goku32359]

Dude, I would so love that! come on Bungie, make it happen!

[jakethesnake]

Definitely just a project name. It sounds pretty terrible for an actual final game name.

[Ghoul]

keep one thing in mind with project names.

they are chosen carefully aimed to NOT unveil any hint at what they are working on. i work on many secret projects and none of them had a project codename that reflects what the game/software/project was about.

but this is a placed guerillia campaign to generate buzz and bungie is commited to the space design setting (al artists are working on this setting for many years couse of halo)

well well we will see :)

BRING IT ON

[Hazmat13]

*looks at ghoul* ahh! what the fuck are you?!?

[awiseman]

You mean like Mass Effect? But online thats awesome!

[pixelsword]

Isn't everything in space? ;)

[MintBerryCrunch]

MMO...why not...they got Blizzard right next door to help

[KingDustero]

The issue is will their fans be willing to pay $15+ a month to play it? I sure won't.

[xtremexx]

could be like guild wars, buy the cd and play for free. hopefully. that rhymed.

[KingDustero]

@ above

One word, Activision. I HIGHLY doubt a new MMO run by them will be free to play.

[DeadlyFire]

Nah it will be Microtransaction based. Free to play $60 or more to have actual armor+suitable weapons in gameplay.

[Rikan]

Bungie may release a Multi-platform online experience that rivals it's old baby, Halo. I wonder if they can develop another IP that lives up to Halo...It'll be a real test of their talent. Or perhaps they'll forever be compared/known for Halo. For the sake of gaming/gamers, I hope this is not the case...

[dgroundwater]

I hope this type of mentality just goes away. I'd like another good Bungie game, but should it really have to be compared to Halo for no apparent reason?

[Rikan]

No apparent reason? Do you read? I simply made a comparison that will be made in every review of Bungie's new game. Of course it will be compared to Halo, you'd be an idiot to think otherwise. I swear if your not arguing like kids about which console is better, there is no conversation period. Sad.

[Zydake]

I Hope and just hope if Bungie sees PS3 success with steam they maybe can pull off some cross integration with the PSN and Live. But I know that wont happen....

[DOOMZ]

I smell MMO...

[zeal0us]

space exploration....and battles, e.v.e better look out then again this is far from being done they got nothing to worry about.

or this whole thing could just another joke like the space-marine mmo.

either way Bungie need to put some info, real info and not some joke material.

[TXIDarkAvenger]

Seems interesting. Wonder what kind of game it will be since its in space....halo lol jk.

[Trroy]

StarCraft MMO.

Who else would blend sci-fi MMO and FPS gameplay? I realize that StarCraft "belongs" to Blizzard, but... Blizzard belongs to Activision. It would take a great studio like Bungie, to convince Blizzard to let another studio do a StarCraft MMO.

I stand by my hypothesis.

[shovelface88]

Activision doesn't own Blizzard. I'm so sick of people saying this. It was a MERGER. Hence Activision's full name: "Activision Blizzard"

Proof:

[Headquarters11]

illuminati symbol =/

[Hazmat13]

yes they are controlling you! to break free you must learn that every triangle its not the illuminati sign. TrustNYourWGovernmentO

[Scyrus]

:O Bungie can actually show people they can make something good besides the spoiled milk halo series.

yay!! glad they got the balls to do it finally, they have a ton of potential, but i think halo was limiting them

[josephayal]

Holy Crap, Another PS3 Exclusive?

[SpLinT]

looks like sony stopped just for you buddy. Xbox360,ps3 , pc

[RockmanII7]

So it's going to take place in space... That is so shocking /s

[Rybakov]

ok cause no one else has said it....either

new Marathon or Marathon rebuilt, remastered, everything?

but realistically it could be anything =/ at least there still in an area that there good at
