A countdown on the official Bungie website had pointed to a big announcement being made today, but the countdown abruptly stopped with 12 hours remaining and was replaced with a letter from Bungie president Harold Ryan, explaining the announcement cancellation.
Bungie’s community manager Luke Smith posted an update on the official website earlier today in order to clarify the situation. The statement reads:
“As upset and frustrated as we know folks are, we hope it’s at least a small comfort that our fans know we share their disappointment. A metric ton of man hours went into getting something ready to show and it’s disappointing to not be able to share it. But, the upside is that it’s all stuff you’ll still see further down the road.
“As much as fans wanted to believe otherwise, this is in fact, the truth and not a cruel hoax or prank. E3 is winding down and there are no plans to make a surprise announcement later this week.”
He also said that the special podcast recorded for the announcement has been put away for release at a later date, but the E3: Livin’ the Dream mockumentary cannot be salvaged at this time.
