Fans of Destiny 2 hope to find clues to Bungie's next game project buried in Destiny 2.
The "scavenger hunt" began when Christopher Barrett, director of developer Bungie, admitted that the studio had hidden an Easter egg for his team's new project in Destiny 2.
Back in 2007's Halo 3: ODST, Bungie left a trailer for Destiny (which was eventually released in 2014) where you could see an image of An Earth that said "Fate is Waiting." There's even a moon on Earth that you'd think of as the Moon, but now it looks clearly a hint to the Fate series' life-like space ball Voyager.
Barrett is listed as the game director for Bungie's unannounced new project, which is poorly known. So far, Destiny 2 fans have had few clues to follow.
Back in June 2018, Bungie raised $100 million in funding from Chinese publisher NetEase to begin work on its new non-Destiny 2 series. Soon after, the studio filed for a trademark for a new project called "Matter."
The following year, Bungie suggested it become a multi-branch developer by 2025, pointing to a potential release window for its new projects. And in June 2020, Bungie described his new IP as "comedic stuff" with "lighthearted and whimsical characters."
Bungie released its latest Destiny 2 DLC, The Phantom of evil, earlier this year. Two more DLCs will follow, Lightfall in 2023 and The Final Shape in 2024, which will put an end to this era of the Destiny series.
