I think Bungie will show a reveal trailer for their Next Big Thing at the VGAs on December 7. If the Activision/Bungie contract released earlier this year is to be believed, then Bungie's next game will release next year, and I would assume it will be released in the fall. That's less than a year away. I don't think we'll get a ton of details before the year ends (as much of the marketing blitz will fall into 2013) but I think we will get a reveal trailer for the game before 2012 ends. It may even be a teaser without any in-game footage like Bungie has released in the past (i.e. ODST and Reach). It seems like it is getting close to being in a publicly showable form. There have been plenty of tweets and references to Bungie playtesting the game. Also, after DeeJ posted this on Friday, [quote]This has been an exciting week behind the opaque curtain that shrouds our secrets, and that has kept us from building intellectual bear traps. I have exciting plans for the weeks to come.[/quote]I think we are just weeks away from getting our first glimpse of the game. With the VGAs being a showcase where a lot of big games have been shown in the past (Mass Effect 3, Uncharted 3, etc.), and only about four weeks away, I think this may be it. What do you think?
