Update 2:

Via Kotaku (click the link for more): http://kotaku.com/5963807/story-details--art-leak-from-bungies-next-game-the-sci+fi-epic-destiny

And in attempting to determine the source of the pictures, we found that rather than being made entirely of Bungie-supplied art, at least two pieces had been lifted from places like DeviantArt.

...

Bungie has confirmed to Kotaku that the document and some of the art is genuine, and is somewhat representative of the game.

Leaked materials provided to IGN by a reader have revealed story details and concept art from Destiny, Bungie’s follow-up to the Halo franchise. Bungie has confirmed to IGN that the document was prepared by an advertising agency and represents an outside look at Destiny’s plot, key values and more.

Take Our Jobs...If You Dare!
Join Bungie!

Go ahead. Take a peek. It’s alright. We weren't quite ready, but we will be soon, and we can’t wait to finally show you what we've really been up to.

Stick around, we haven’t even started yet.

Also it's almost assuredly at the VGAs:

To be clear, most of this (sans what is on Bungie's page) seems to be contractor art:

These are NOT our images. Not Bungie art. IGN should have already clarified.

 

[Nirolak]

This is like the most leaked game since Syndicate.

Images:

 

[ezekial45]

That's some great art.

 

[DocSeuss]

Not wild about it being an online game. It's a pain in the ass to align my schedule with that of my friends', because we live around the world.

 

[V_Ben]

Wow, people really can't keep the lid on this one can they.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

OMG!!!!!

Inject directly into my veins please Bungie.

 

[kittens]

Holy shit! Can't wait for this.

 

[gaming_noob]

The color palette is so Bungie. Looking forward to this.

 

[jet1911]

Amazing art is amazing. Now I just need to know how it plays.

 

[LTWheels]

To me the art has a star wars vibe, especially the armour of the humans.

 

[schwabdizzle]

Dat Art.

 

[Orayn]

I love the sound of a more light-hearted, Star Warsy science fantasy game from Bungie. There's room for a little levity and adventure in this market so dominated by "serious" games that are impossible to take seriously.

 

[tonitoni]

 

[HigherLevel]

Sexy. So ready for Bungie to get me sucked into a new universe like they did in 2001.

 

[Fezan]

this looks so killzonish
really love the artwork here but MMO

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

the art looks amazing, guess it's 360 and ps3 after all.

 

[brandonh83]

You just know this will be awesome.

 

[Nirolak]

That one is hosted on Bungie's site.

The link also implies it's from a new article there referencing that they've had three leaks. Do you happen to have a link?

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

This looks rad!

 

[Guevara]

To me the art has a star wars vibe, especially the armour of the humans.

It looks very much like Star Wars.

 

[rdrr gnr]

Really great art. Let's hope it isn't muddied by being an MMO*. The premise seems interesting enough -- though I wish attacking the large ship wasn't such an immediate goal.

Edit: Misread. Hope the role of the ship is interesting.

 

[blurredvision]

Still targeting 360/PS3? The whole next generation is starting to feel like a pipe dream at this point.

 

[polyh3dron]

They're making a MMO right now and it's slated for 360/PS3?

lol by the time they're actually ready to ship, we'll be well into next gen most likely.

 

[pargonta]

Sphere

perhaps suggesting that Destiny will be less mature than Bungie’s efforts with Halo

lol, ign what, shooting and cartoony aliens in halo is already not mature, hmm.

that concept art is pretty awesome.

 

[tonitoni]

Its pretty much just the picture: http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=32235

 

[Nirolak]

The contract suggests it's releasing on both.

Thanks.

 

[Fracas]

Hell yes

 

[Muffdraul]

"Oopsie! We accidentally leaked! Gee I hope nobody in the public realm sees it and gets excited about our upcoming game!"

...perhaps suggesting that Destiny will be less mature than Bungie’s efforts with Halo. A quote from Bungie co-founder Jason Jones says “Destiny is designed for your inner seven year old. We want to make it feel like a mythic adventure.”

Totally down with this. I've always felt my particular love for Halo stems from the fact that, of all the video games I've ever played, it's the one that most conjurs up my childhood memories of spending weekends at my grandma's house in 29 Palms/Yucca Valley trudging around the desert pretending I was on a far flung world blowing away aliens. Which is probably why I liked it even more than Marathon.

Now, if I can just cling to the hope that this game has some form of at least semi-robust support for people who prefer to roll solo.

 

[DocSeuss]

If they pull off what they are trying to pull off, I'm cool with people saying that Halo 4 makes Bungie's efforts look bad, because I'll be able to retort with Halo was holding Bungie back.

But... I cannot reiterate enough how much I hate social-based gaming.

I wonder if Bungie was going to show this at the Spike VGAs.

 

[wwm0nkey]

They're making a MMO right now and it's slated for 360/PS3?

Its also a next gen Xbox title to which was confirmed by the court documents.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Save us, Bungie

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Oh Bungie, I hope you pull it off. Impress me Jones.

 

[Wizman23]

Still thinking this game ends up being a consolized version of Planetside 2. Also since its Bungie it will be easy to get into and you won't have to watch 40 tutorial videos like in Planetside 2 so you know what the fuck your supposed to be doing.

 

[GrizzNKev]

Oh shit Bungie. Woah.

 

[Buttonbasher]

They mention "soon" in that Bungie post. VGA's?

 

[SniperHunter]

that's some amazing art right there! SCI-FI shooters ftw ^_^

 

[HigherLevel]

I had this feeling seeing these pictures I haven't had since Halo 3. I'm so ready for more Bungie greatness.

 

[kittens]

I love the sound of a more light-hearted, Star Warsy science fantasy game from Bungie. There's room for a little levity and adventure in this market so dominated by "serious" games that are impossible to take seriously.

I totally agree. This could be a dream game for me.

 

[Poker Face]

awesome looking art! can't wait!

 

[The Return of]

Forgot this game was going to have a campaign. Hopefully it has great execution, but I'm not putting too much faith in that.

I love the art that I'm seeing.

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

space combat? yes please

 

[Biggzy]

I wonder if this will show up at the VGA'S?

The giant breaking sphere looks like the Didact's ship, but other than that, I'm pumped. Let me give you my money, Bungie.

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[Feep]

Man, they're running this out to 2020? I hope it's as successful as they anticipate.

 

[ThatsMytrunks]

The giant breaking sphere looks like the Didact's ship, but other than that, I'm pumped. Let me give you my money, Bungie.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

very nice art

 

[Karl2177]

Help us Bungie Studios, you're our only hope.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

I think a lot of this is very early previz concept work. Some of those pieces are clearly different images pasted together. Lots of early-brainstorming type work.

This one in particular:

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Hopefully Bungie comes up with something interesting and fun to play now that they're no longer busy screwing up Halo.

Although if it indeed turns out to be MMO and "social to its core," as the article suggests, then they can take a hike.

 

[MrDaravon]

God please Bungie save us from Halo 4. This sounds fantastic, but I want to see what this actually looks and plays like.

 

[wwm0nkey]

I wonder if this will show up at the VGA'S?



I was thinking the same thing.

Im going to go ahead and say. Probably.
