Rumor: Halo 4 Coming from Gearbox (PC)

How's that for a kick in the pants? If reports by OXM are true, then Gearbox Software is creating the next numbered Halo title for Microsoft's Xbox 360 successor. The company has both a history with Microsoft and the Halo series.

by David Radd on Tuesday, August 26, 2008

The Official Xbox Magazine is reporting in their October issue that Gearbox Software may be working on Halo 4 for Microsoft's next Xbox console. The FPS developer previously worked on porting Halo: Combat Evolved to the PC. Bungie's recently forged independence implied a reluctance to continue work on Microsoft's largest game franchise.

"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," commented Randy Pitchford on Gearbox's forums earlier this year. "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."

Gearbox is currently known to be working on Aliens: Colonel Marines, Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway and Borderlands.

Halo Wars Screens

    Halo Wars is a third person strategy game that tasks you with building bases across huge maps and pumping out infantry and equipment, whether that's ground troops or vehicles such as Warthogs. Once you have your army assembled, you direct them to an enemy's location and watch the proverbial fur fly. Units automatically engage baddies when in range, and what ensues are large scale battles where lasers and bullets collide with flamethrowers and huge explosions. Bodies (marines, Spartans, grunts, hunters and more) sail through the air, things blow up nicely and familiar sounds, such as Covenant screams, keep things frantic and thrilling. -- Chris Buffa
