What's Next for Bungie?
What the heck? Dean Takahashi, who writes books about gaming as well as a column for the Mercury News, has put up a blog entry that discusses what might, or might not, be going on inside Bungie Studios. (He suggests that on top of Halo 3, there's a team working on another game, PLUS a smaller project involving a crew of top talent.) Okay, that stuff's interesting, and may or may not prove to be true over time. Give it a read. What generated my 'what the heck?' response, though, was in the last paragraph:
Amazon.com lists two new novels coming by Eric Nylund. One is Halo: the Ghosts of Onyx, slated for release on Oct. 31. Another is Halo: The Ghosts of Coral, slated for release on April 3, 2007.
He's right - Ghosts of Coral is listed at Amazon, with a release date of April 3, 2007. However, a search of the listed ISBN number comes up blank. Is Amazon off its rocker? Or has Tor simply not filed the proper paperwork for the next book yet? (We know there are at least two more slated after Ghosts of Onyx - and if Amazon knew nothing except a possible release date, I suppose it makes sense that they'd use the placeholder title they had for the LAST one... but there are two pieces of info in this listing which are interesting: that date, and the fact that Nylund's writing it. Is Amazon right?) Update: Looks like someone was busy this morning - that ISBNdb link now works! Thanks to UrsusArctos for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 09:50:54 UTC)
