Moving on: Bungie is hiring for 'next game universe' photo

Bungie's job page blew up with listings for new positions. New not-Halo positions, it seems. A listing for a new writing lead asks for these specific requirements:

Histories and legends, combat dialog, weapon descriptions, etc. Your words will help define Bungie's next game universe.

Next, as in not Halo. Honestly, I can't even imagine a non-FPS at this point. That would be nice, though.

They're also looking for networking, graphics, animation, design and programming peoples. Gearing up, if you will. No other hints are dropped, other than that they're looking for people with console experience, and are working on multiplayer things. I'd have to believe that they're not going to go back to their Mac roots.

Any guesses on what's next?

Maybe it's a sequal to that Warcraft like RTS that they made a while back. What was it called again?

Hate to state the obvious but it sounds like a fantasy RPG. Maybe Bungie are looking to break into Bioware territory.

Okay, I just reread Telephis' comment and laughed so much at it that I can see it being right.

Yes. It's what the Fiech Retsam's suit is made from. That's where the title comes into play.

It has some magic powers or some cool stuff like that.

It better be true this time, because they were saying that they would do something completely different as in original new with ODST

"Awesome" is probably one of the most common typos. You are forgiven.

Sure.... a non-FPS won't even come to their minds. It'll be a reskin of halo.

I hope they are making another RTS like their last one, Myth: The Fallen Lords and Soulblighter.

I'm up for whatever as long as it's not Halo. Bungie hsa proven to be a highly talented and dedicated developer, I'd love to see what they could do now that they've officially left the shackles of the Halo franchise behind.
