Since a day or so their website has been sporting a new splashscreen most likely related to a game announcement: www.bungie.net

However, nothing has been shown on the MS press conference and despite the rumor mill (Kotaku) reporting a high attendance of Bungie employees at the EA conference, there was no announcement made either.

So, what' s the deal? I am somehow having this weird feeling that Bungie might partner with somebody surprising, however, didn' t Microsoft have first refusal rights on anything Bungie makes?
