Earlier todaywe mentioned a Rumortoidsuggesting that Gearbox (Brothers in Arms,Aliens: Colonial Marines) might be working on a brand newHalosequel. The rumor came fromOfficial Xbox Magazineand suggested that this title would be for Microsoft’s Xbox 360successorconsole.
We decided to get in touch with Gearbox for a comment on all this chittle chattle. The studio confirmed that this rumor is totally a rumor:
We’ve been hearing from a lot of people regarding that rumor, as you can probably guess! We haven’t made any official announcements regarding any work with the Halo franchise – if we haven’t put out a press release announcing a title, it is just a rumor.
Rumor is a rumor — CONFIRMED!
It’s the expected response, and brings us no closer to the truth. I don’t imagine that, if the aforementioned press release exists, we don’t be seeing it for a long while yet. Still, rumors and gossip are so much fun.
