Rumor: Halo 4 being developed by Gearbox, launch title for Xbox 720 [Update]
I’ve started a new project. It’s big. It’s, like, look-at-our-line-up-and-imagine-something-even-bigger kind of big. I’m Directing it myself. I can’t mention it publicly yet. When you find out what this is, you’ll likely agree that I can’t oversell this one.
This makes a bit of sense considering Gearbox handled the PC title, Halo: Combat Evolved. But we’ll have to wait and see when the October issue of OXM hits stands.
Update: Ben Fritz from Variety did a little digging into this and this is what he found.
I checked with a source I have who is close to Gearbox and the best info I can confirm is that Gearbox has definitely had conversations with Microsoft about doing a new “Halo” game and is very excited at the prospect. However, last my source heard, there was no deal in place. So as far as I can tell, it’s quite possible Gearbox will be doing “Halo 4,” (or whatever they end up calling it), but it’s not a certainty yet.
