Contrary to what was supposed to happen, Bungie has reported on its website from the company president Harold Ryan that it will not be revealing their new project at E3 due to its publisher’s decision.
“For the last several months, we’ve been building toward a reveal of something exciting that Bungie is working on…” “We were looking forward to sharing that with our fan community during the week of E3. However, those plans were just changed by our publisher.” “We realize that many of our fans are disappointed by this turn of events; members of the Bungie team share that disappointment.” – Harold Ryan, Bungie President
Although Bungie was able to become independent from Microsoft as a company, Microsoft retains the rights to publish all current and future titles coming out of the studio.
