Bungie has been tight-lipped about its next venture since the developer's exodus from Microsoft's first-party stable, but a recent leak has granted fans a peek into a short story synopsis and concept artwork surrounding the new game known as Destiny.
The flood of information concerning Bungie's latest arrives courtesy of an IGN reader who provided the site with a document "prepared by an advertising agency."
The creators of Halo confirmed that the document responsible for the leak was legitimate, and responded by posting the concept art displayed above, alongside the following message. "Go ahead. Take a peak. It's alright. We weren't quite ready, but we will be soon, and we can't wait to finally show you what we've really been up to. Stick around, we haven't even started yet." Additional artwork can be found here.
Now, on the plot of Destiny. The document reads, "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."
Gameplay details are sparse, but Destiny is reportedly "social at its core." It may be vague, but that's all we have to go off of as of now.
Stay tuned for future Destiny updates, as Bungie is sure to pull back the curtain a little further in the coming weeks or months.
