[UPDATE: NOT]"},"content":{"rendered":"

UPDATE:<\/strong> Nope, not Bungie, just a bunch of other people renting office space out of Bungie’s building. Liz “lilithbunny” Spain tells Gamespot<\/a>, ” “No, we were actually shooting for another video game company in space borrowed from the Bungie Offices. The game we were shooting for is going to be on the iPad.” Boo!<\/p>\n

The interwebs’ network of spies has turned up a rather interesting bit of information – Bungie’s apparently put out a call for “Greater Seattle steampunks” to attend a photoshoot event for the developer’s “steampunk game”. Wait, what steampunk game?<\/p>\n

In a post on the Seattle Steamrats forum<\/a>, user “lilithbunny” says:<\/p>\n

Calling all Greater Seattle steampunks! I need people to show up in steampunk finery to have photos taken for video game artwork for a steampunk game currently in development. Wear your own steampunk clothing or show up and we’ll put you in costume. Snacks and beverages will be provided and a good time will be had by all!
<\/em><\/p>\n

If you have steampunk outfits that are Victorian British military, French military, Confederate or Pirate-y themed, please bring them, as they would suit the game quite well. (extra points for Naval military themes)
<\/em><\/p>\n

Also, any photographers willing to donate their time are more than welcome to bring a camera and their skills so that we may have more coverage of the fabulous-looking people who are sure to be there.<\/em><\/p>\n

Since signing off the Halo brand to 343 Industries last year and moving over to Activision’s court, Bungie has kept its next project wrapped up in secret-paper.<\/p>\n

In the unlikely event that they’re working on a game adaptation of China Miéville’s Bas Lag series, you read it here first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
