Why is Bungie obsessed with the number 7?

Bungie Day is an unofficial day to celebrate everything Bungie. It encompasses the Halo and Destiny franchises, as well as fan-created content, communities, and relationships formed through Bungie games.

Bungie’s obsession with the number seven, which can be seen throughout the company’s history, is also commemorated by the establishment of the holiday on July 7, 2007.

The number seven appears several times throughout Bungie’s work. The number seven can be found throughout the Halo franchise, from Master Chief’s name John-117 to the M6D pistol’s ejection port, which has the Chinese/Japanese character for seven faintly etched onto it.

777 can be found near the hem of the Memory of Cayde cloak in the Destiny franchise.

The cloak is a tribute to Cayde-6 and bears a single spade, possibly referring to the Ace of Spades. Add the number six in Cayde-6 to the number one Ace to get seven, Bungie’s favourite number.

Why is Bungie obsessed with the number 7?

Bungie’s obsession with the number seven may be attributed to or be a determining factor in why John-117 is considered lucky, as number seven is considered lucky.

Despite the fact that the number seven appears frequently in Bungie’s work, it has an aura of apophenia. This cultural nuance is similar to the 23 enigmas.
