Bungie Aerospace Gets Teaser Site [RUMOR]

Back in March, Bungie Studios trademarked the name ‘Bungie Aerospace’. Now, a teaser website, BungieAerospace.org, has appeared with a countdown timer and the word’ Tru7h’, in which the 7 links back to Bungie’s homepage. The timer should expire on December 5th, so hopefully we will get some sort of resolution as to if this is a real teaser site or some fan-hoax. Bungie Aerospace has long-thought to be a new game engine being worked on by the company, but nothing official has been announced – for all we know they could be working on a flight sim (not likely). There is an actual website for Bungie Aerospace, which further pokes holes in this teaser site’s credibility.

In the page source of the alleged teaser site, the following can be seen in the comments:
COde ErrOR: 931.461.60231.14.vt920, Please REBOOT to FiX…
