Microsoft confirms Bungie working on new Halo game

And it has nothing to do with the upcoming Halo Wars or the in-limbo Halo Chronicles, says Xbox boss Don Mattrick.

New Halo confirmed by Microsoft

In speaking with MTV News on Tuesday, Mattrick said that Bungie is working on a new Halo game, but that Microsoft didn't want to announce it yet for fear of stealing thunder from their current lineup of games, including Gears of War 2.

Yesterday, Bungie blamed their publisher (now confirmed to be Microsoft) for not allowing them to announce their new game (now confirmed to be Halo related) this week.

"We were looking forward to sharing (a new game announcement) with our fan community during the week of E3," said Bungie President Harold Ryan. "However, those plans were just changed by our publisher."

I mean awesome that it is in a new Halo game ... not awesome that Microsoft didn't let them show anything. I guess it is all for the better any ways considering it probably wouldn't come out until Holiday 2009 anyway. TDK

yeah this isn't surprising though. i'm guessing they were going to announce it at E3 but they dropped the FF bomb instead. they will bust this one out later this year as the big title for next year's holiday season.
