Bungie's next game is 'massively multiplayer'

There are a lot of rumors surrounding Bungie's mysterious next project. With the Halo torch passed on, many are curious as to what Bungie's first project with Activision will entail -- and what genres it might straddle.

It appears the answer is that the unnamed franchise will be a massively multiplayer game of some sort. During a panel on networking technologies, Bungie lead network engineer David Aldridge told GDC attendees that the game will be "massively multiplayer," though added that it would not simply be "WoW in space." Beyond that tidbit, Bungie's project still remains shrouded in secrecy.
