Halo 4 might be out right now and Bungie didn't have anything to do with it, but they are making some headlines in the news lately for their next project.  The game is codenamed Destiny and it's their first title under a publishing agreement with Activision.  Bungie has been working on the game since it split with Microsoft two years ago, and many thought it was going to be some sort of MMO hybrid.  But that doesn't seem to be the case, the game is still a shooter, though it does expand on some concepts Bungie explored at the end of their Halo life-cycle.
