New Bungie IP to be an action RPG, suggests job listing

It looks like the "next big action game universe" Bungie is currently building with Activision might just be an action RPG.

The studio is looking for a writing lead for the storyline of the new title, according to a job listing on its website, with the developer especially keen on writers who provide a "branching or non-linear narrative experience".

On that nugget of info alone, Gamespot suggests it could be an action RPG in a similar form like Mass Effect 2 or Deus Ex.

The developer announced last week it had signed a ten-year deal with Activision for full publishing and distribution rights to the new IP:  Bungie will maintain full control on the series.

In the meantime, the studio's currently focusing on Halo: Reach, which launched its multiplayer beta earlier tonight.
