Destiny 2 has a hidden Easter egg for Bungie’s next game

The director of an unannounced Bungie game has sent fans hunting for an Easter egg that’s in Destiny 2.

We all know that Bungie is working on something new that’s unrelated to Destiny, something that the company is aiming to have out before 2025. Since that’s still years away, it hasn’t shared any official details about it yet – only semi-official ones.

Fans of Bungie have been sent on an Easter egg hunt by Christopher Barrett, a long-time employee who has been with Bungie since 1999 and is now working as game director on an unannounced project.

In response to a Tweet about favourite Easter eggs in video games, Barrett shared an image of a poster in Halo 3: ODST that turned out to be teasing Destiny.

When a fan asked if Bungie had done something similar and hidden a teaser for a new IP in Destiny, Barrett bluntly answered ‘Yes,’ following it up with a ‘Maybe’ and the new moon-with-face emoji.

Naturally, fans have taken that to mean that the teaser is hidden somewhere on the moon in Destiny 2. Although there has yet to be any real discoveries, since the teaser could theoretically be anything.

Bungie also trademarked the name Matter several years ago, leading many to assume that that’s the name of its next game. In what is probably not a coincidence, in a Reddit thread discussing the Easter egg,
