According to an alleged disgruntled former Bungie employee, the developer's next game - set to be published on multiple platforms by Activision - will be a sci-fi 'Massively Multiplayer Online FPS' currently entitled 'Destiny', though it exists under the codename of 'Tiger' at present.
Said ex-employee told Kotaku that the unannounced game will "run on a new Bungie-developed graphics engine and feature unique online connectivity and matchmaking technology." It will also be somewhat like "WoW in space" the anonymous source stated.
Whether this source is reliable however, could be called into question by a statement issued by Bungie addressing claims that 30 non-salaried employees had been given the boot: "The claim is false. Bungie has never been asked to lay off any employees or contract employees by our publisher, Activision-Blizzard, for any reason," the statement reads. "The talented professionals who grace our offices day in and day out are the lifeblood of Bungie – our most cherished commodity – and the unsubstantiated rumours posted today are in direct opposition to the culture and values that we believe make Bungie an exceptional place to work, and to call home."
Bungie's new game will presumably be based upon new IP, as part of a ten-year agreement with Activision. A sci-fi flavoured MMO FPS though?
