Bungies Next Big Thing

Ever since Bungie announced that Halo: Reach would be their final development title in the Halo Universe, many have speculated as to what the company might be up to.  Some have said that they may focus their efforts on multiplatform titles, others have guessed a little closer to their roots in a Marathon redux.  We recently came across a trademark registration that Bungie filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.  It looks like Bungie is going inter-galactic.

The Bungie Aerospace trademark is likely to be used  in conjunction with developing proprietary softwares.  So, the next big thing from Bungie might not be a game at all.  Bungie just might be the backbone of the future's great first person shooters, and dive head first into developing game engines after Halo: Reach.  This doesn't seem like such a bad thing,  especially for Halo fans.  With 343 Industries taking over the developmental regins and Bungie supplying the guts, it seems like a win for Halo players.  If this is in fact what's going on here.  This is speculation, but the trademark and logo were filed so let the guessing games begin.

So what do you think the next big thing that Bungie is working on after Halo Reach?  And what is this Aerospace?

    Good find, but what’s up with the name Aerospace… kinda weird if you ask me.

    You never know what you’re going to get with Bungie. I speculate its a tiny sign of what may be a whole new IP from Bungie. Im totally content with Bungie developing either a new IP or some great new engines. Epic is superb at doing both, maybe Bungie is trying to join in. It would be cool, in my book, if Bungie made a killer engine called “Aerospace.”
    inb4 all the “YAA I DOES KNO ALL I GETZ FRUM BUNGY IS HEYLO!!” (If you dont visit 4chan.org,”inb4″ translates into “Shut the f*** up and dont say it.”)
