Details regarding Bungie's next project, Destiny, have emerged following an accidentally leaked internal blog from studio Demonware.

An anonymous employee from Demonware, a studio that specialises in handling online tech for Activision (including Call of Duty), apparently posted an internal blog on the company website that details the progress made on Destiny - Bungie's newest IP - and the experiences staff had visiting Bungie and playing the game.

All that remains of the report now is a Google cache page (posted on Kotaku if you need to see it with your own eyes), which reveals:

"This is not a dedicated server game, but there is some simulation and coordination running in their server infrastructure. The game was up and down a lot, playing in a team of 3 we did manage to experience entering a zone to find other players already taking on the bad guys, it's cooperative so we helped out (mostly [name removed], I just died) before both groups went their separate ways. Which is a pretty cool experience, making you feel you are part of a much larger populated world."

"At the end of the day I was excited about the game, I like the feel of being in a large world with different destinations and the interactions along the way. It actually brought back a sense of exploration I recall from playing Elite many years ago, although there was no opportunity to shoot aliens in the face in Elite. I'm not fully sold on the appeal of being able to change the colour of a weapon, but I guess it works in China, and customization and individual identity is a big theme for the game."

"It's still quite like Halo, there is a lot of work still to be done."

There aren't many details available surrounding Destiny. Bungie were forced to officially confirm the game following the trial between Activision (who signed a 10 year exclusivity deal with Bungie) and former Infinity Ward heads Jason West and Vincent Zampella. What we do know is that the first game made under the agreement will appear on Xbox 360/720 first, with Playstation and PC versions set to follow thereafter.

REVIEW. Written by Paul Davies

"It feels like the end of the road for Destiny before the true sequel. Having said that, it remains a road well worth travelling."

REVIEW. Written by Mike Holmes

"It builds on the base game and improves it in almost every way, and while it might be pricey, it's an essential expansion for fans."
