It appears all the hype was for nothing…or was it? Harold Ryan, Bungie’s president, has posted a letter on the front page of Bungie.net, as shown above. Click the image for the larger size.
So what does this mean? Nothing really. Bungie has been known for trickery in the past, and we won’t know whether or not to believe Harold Ryan until E3 is over. If we don’t get an announcement tomorrow we might have to wait a little over a month for Penny Arcade expo to see an announcement.
UPDATE: Not only did it not show up at E3, the announcement will apparently not show up at PAX in August either. Bungie’s official statement is that they will be showing off new multiplayer content (we’re putting our money on maps), but will not be making their big, massive, much anticipated announcement.
If that wasn’t bad news enough, the Fan Party went under. It appears that we’ll have to wait for some other time to live it up with the community team.
