Music legend Paul McCartney told his fans that he is working with Bungie on the music for an as yet unannounced game, releasing a photo of himself chatting with Bungie composer Marty O'Donnell. We can only assume the collaboration involves the project codenamed "Destiny".

"I'm really excited to be working on writing music with Bungie, the studio that made Halo," McCartney said on his Facebook page and his Twitter (via Eurogamer). The posts finally offered specifics to an interview he did in January with German magazine Die Zeit where he said he was working on a video game. McCartney had previously worked with Harmonix on The Beatles: Rock Band.

Bungie's "Destiny" was revealed in court documents as part of Activision's court battle with Infinity Ward. The action shooter was in the original 10-year contract the developer signed with Activision in 2010. If the plans in the documents hold true, "Destiny" is scheduled for a 2013 release.

      I always felt that Bungie products were sorely lacking 'Simply Having A Wonderful Christmastime' from all of their soundtracks.

      You can "Imagine" what it'll sound like. "Just give it a chance"

      Lame. I assume it's because Marty is a Bungie guy. This is like them bringing in Clint Mansell to do a couple track on ME3 and giving Jack Wall the boot. All they talked about was Mansell, and he worked on 2 of the 25 tracks and one was with Sam Hulick.
