Bungie going steampunk?

Bungie has sent out a casting call in the Seattle area for people in "Victorian military costumes", which could be a hint as to what their next game is. The casting call is probably for an ad to be run in conjunction with their game, which will be unveiled on Bungie Day (July 7, 2011).

The posting, which was published on the Seattle Steamrats forum, reads:

Calling all Greater Seattle steampunks! I need people to show up in steampunk finery to have photos taken for video game artwork for a steampunk game currently in development. Wear your own steampunk clothing or show up and we’ll put you in costume. Snacks and beverages will be provided and a good time will be had by all!

If you have steampunk outfits that are Victorian British military, French military, Confederate or Pirate-y themed, please bring them, as they would suit the game quite well. (extra points for Naval military themes)

Also, any photographers willing to donate their time are more than welcome to bring a camera and their skills so that we may have more coverage of the fabulous-looking people who are sure to be there.

There are three factions registered by Bungie - could these be the New Monarchs?
