Source: Halo 4 is already in development

At some point you’ll just have to trust us on some of this stuff. We have to protect our sources to keep them from being fragged by their employers or associates.

A very good and anonymous source tells us that Halo 4 is already in full development over at Bungie. I wish to God She/He/It had more details to share but at this point all She/He/It can confirm for sure is that Halo 4 is an official project being developed by Bungie, at this very moment.

With more than 20 million copies of Halo 3 sold worldwide, I know it’s a no-brainer that the series would continue somehow. It’s nice to get this sort of reassurance from a source who has never been wrong for us before.

If we get more details, we’ll share them. If She/He/It is wrong… They’ll be quietly disposed of.

Well it will only be a matter of time before this ends up on Kotaku.

funny how your post is at 9:39, SWS, and my atomic clock says 9:38. =-). This is extremely effing exciting. my guess is it’ll only be bigger than Halo 3, because the story arc can only be improved on, god knows it wasn’t perfect. there’s a million cool things i could say, but i’ll leave it up to you guys. I sense a breath back into the life of Podtacular…

Dam, for a minute I was hoping this was a fiction friday….. oh well, there goes the planet.

Awesome! I can’t wait to jump into the series for the first time on the fourth iteration of the series just like all those idiots who thought they should start Metal Gear at the end of the story!

Wait.. no.. I’m still not interested. Back to Metal Gear Solid… wait… no…. Back to waiting for MGS4 to be patched!

I’ll be on the can

nice! although i’m not a halo fan, i knew it wouldnt be long before MS and Bungie started working on their next cash cow.

Keith K - you mean back to watching hour long MGS4 cinematics between patches??? LOL

It wont exactly be Halo 4 (since Bungie says they’re done with the series), but a game in the same universe as Halo is totally cool. Bungie has even stated that games in the same realm as the Halo series will be coming. You can prove me wrong ,though, Doc. Halo 4 would still be frickin sweet!

@peterocc

I’ve played the game through several times. I don’t need to watch any of them. Though there are a few of them I just can’t resist.

I do have a couple installs left to endure on Extreme, but I’m not quite ready to move up to that difficulty except to play the first act, which I really enjoy.

…Is it Friday yet? God I hope it’s friday…

Dunno but it could be true, but the real question is, whether Bungie is making a Halo shooter game (what I least suspect but hope the most ), or is it just a game based around Halo franchise. Of course if somebody read the novels there’s still plenty of stuff for a shooter, a prequel in that case is very likely…
14 AZRoboto // Jul 3, 2008 at 4:07 pm

20 million units of Halo 3?

You mean the franchise….
15 Playboi // Jul 3, 2008 at 7:20 pm

Did they say there would not be a Halo 4 of there wouldn’t be another Halo? It could always be Halo Zero. It wouldn’t be the first time that happened in video games…
16 balaamsafe // Jul 4, 2008 at 4:27 am

wait, it’s not friday
if that is true i will be very pleased, i’m not a big halo fan but you can’t say that it’s not a very solid shooter.
17 gfro // Jul 7, 2008 at 2:05 pm

18 Pille125 // Jul 16, 2008 at 10:57 am

19 ELIT3squir3l // Jul 16, 2008 at 7:00 pm

So what about the rumor from OXM that Gearbox Software is actually working on Halo 4?
