It’s been swirling around a little this rumour, that Gearbox’s top secret title project is in fact Halo 4. Bungie, creator of all things Master Chief, pointed to Microsoft for answers.
The IP is in the corporate giants hands so we should ”take it up with them,” not Bungie they say. OXM say Gearbox’s rumoured Halo 4 is a next Xbox launcher too.
”I’ve started a new project,” said Gearbox head Randy Pitchford back in February.
”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.”
Halo is big, the franchise is very big indeed and Microsoft aren’t likely to let one of their favourite IPs just sit there collecting dust - especially if they could launch a whole new console with it. Bungie themselves are happy to be working on other properties.
Gearbox isn’t some snot-nosed kid on the FPS block - they’ve got street cred… and bling. Let’s hope it’s all true.
