Activision Blizzard and Bungie are still keeping their lips tight on the persistent world action title likened to "WoW in space", but a source claiming to be a laid off contract-worker told Kotaku the game is called Destiny.
According to the source, he and 30 other contractors was let go yesterday over budgetary concern from the publisher. Perhaps part of Activision Blizzard's current restructuring process. Bungie have denied the allegations:
"This evening, Kotaku Australia published a blog entry to their website claiming that Bungie recently terminated as many as thirty contract employees without notice or justification, effectively eliminating all non full time staff at the request of our publisher, Activision-Blizzard.
The claim is false.
Bungie has never been asked to lay off any employees or contract employees by our publisher, Activision-Blizzard, for any reason. The talented professionals who grace our offices day in and day out are the lifeblood of Bungie - our most cherished commodity - and the unsubstantiated rumors posted today are in direct opposition to the culture and values that we believe make Bungie an exceptional place to work, and to call home."
Oh well, they did not deny that their next project might be called Destiny. It's a rumour for now. Expect to hear more come E3.
