Very recently Bungie posted a revealing letter on its website detailing the reason for its suspicious absence from this year's E3, currently being held in Los Angeles. Rather than paraphrase, here's the statement directly from the horse's mouth:
For the last several months, we've been building toward a reveal of something exciting that Bungie is working on. We were looking forward to sharing that with our fan community during the week of E3. However, those plans were just changed by our publisher.
We realize that many of our fans are disappointed by this turn of events; members of the Bungie team share that disappointment.
When the right time comes, we look forward to sharing this exciting announcement with you. Until then, we appreciate your continued support and patience.
