Dead Orbit, Seven Seraphs Among New Bungie Copyrights
Hats off to Supererogatory for finding this one. Earlier this July, Bungie managed to stealthily copyright four phrases--Seven Seraphs, Osiris, New Monarchy, and Dead Orbit--under “artwork” with the US copyright office, and enlisted a third party to register three Web domains for each. The implication here is that one or all of these are connected with Bungie’s forthcoming project with Activision, which is still a secret. But they could also mean nothing. Trademarks and the like are funny like that.
The artwork description, by the way, doesn’t necessarily count out the chance that one of these phrases is the name of Bungie’s new game. As Joystiq points out, artwork copyrights can be used with “all sorts of promotional and marketing, like logos."

Fuck. Now we have to sit through months, if not years, of countless speculation and rumors. Yay for the industry.
All I can tell you about that is I know (don't ask, NDA wont allow me to tell you more) it was no where close to ready when development stopped. In fairness they did release a multiplayer FPS, Stargate Resistance but having lost the license my understanding is it is currently offline (i don't know, i haven't played it- I'm kind of mad at CME).
I feel so torn apart. On one side I want them to make another space shooter franchise because they haveproved to be able to create fantastic universes for such (Marathon and Halo) but on the other side I want them to do something else. Maybe something else would be good for them and I hope that Activision will give them at least SOME creative freedom.
'Seven Seraphs' sound the best game title to me. 'New Monarchy' could maybe a game title that grows on you depending on the game.
As long as it aint lame ass plastic toy story aliens with high pitched voices i'll keep an eye on this
" Another new Halo game huh. "reading some of these makes me think that but god I hope its not
" @ryanwho said:Microsoft owns the rights to Halo, not Bungie." Another new Halo game huh. "reading some of these makes me think that but god I hope its not "
Halo: Dead Orbit?
Set 100s of years in the future, it is the story of a ship, Osiris, that mysteriously loses power after flying through an electrical storm. They are stranded with no radio contact and must survive until a rescue ship comes for them. After weeks of eating only rations, they see a ship approaching, but rather then being the rescue party, it is a new covenant group, called the New Monarchy, coming to steal the high tech weapons on board Osiris.
