Bungie massively updated its Reach Project page last night – you’ll need to do some serious exploring. We mentioned Screenshots yesterday – but new Concept Art is up, and the Personnel section has been populated (you can read these in a more linear fashion on the front page of Bungie.net, as well). Good stuff! Thanks…

There are currently 18 new shots in the Screenshots section – but they seem to be going up one by one, so there might…

The Reach content embargo ends today, January 25 – and Sweden got to that date long before the US.
