Bungie, the creator of the beloved Halo franchise, is hard at work at something mysterious. Known only as Destiny, the video game is raising speculation everywhere as to what it could be. Good news? It looks like the game will finally be revealed on Sunday, Feb. 17.
"You can be the first to see the reveal of Destiny right here on Feb. 17 (T-Minus 5 days)," writes Bungie on its newly-activated Destiny Twitter and Facebook pages.
Details are scant about the game, but expect some amazing graphics and a storyline that will give the franchise a decade-long lifespan. Speaking of the story, here's a tidbit revealed by some previously leaked documents:
"Our story begins seven hundred years from now in the Last City on Earth, in a Solar System littered with the ruins of man's Golden Age. A massive, mysterious alien ship hangs overhead like a second Moon. No one knows where it came from or what it's here for, but only that it's our protector. Meanwhile, strange, alien monsters creep in from the edge of the universe, determined to take Earth and the Last City. We are young 'knights' tasked with defending the remains of humanity, discovering the source of these monsters and - eventually - overcoming it."
Bungie will also be holding its own panel at the Game Developers Conference late in March, so expect more to come out around that time. For now, it looks like Sunday, Feb. 17, is going to be a marked day on a lot gamers' calendars.
Here are a couple pieces of artwork released earlier to help keep you warm and cozy for the next five days:
