A recent report claims Bungie Studio; creators of the Halo franchise have started work on an MMO FPS style game titled Destiny.

The game is believed to be a sci-fi shooter described as “WoW in space.” The source claims the game will run on Bungie’s new graphics engine and feature unique online connectivity and matchmaking technology.

Kotaku reports that a contractor leaked the information after his contract was terminated as well as him being miss treated at Bungie.

Bungie responded to this claim, with an official statement: “The claim is false. Bungie has never been asked to lay off any employees or contract employees by our publisher, Activision-Blizzard, for any reason. The talented professionals who grace our offices day in and day out are the lifeblood of Bungie – our most cherished commodity – and the unsubstantiated rumors posted today are in direct opposition to the culture and values that we believe make Bungie an exceptional place to work, and to call home.”
