According to OXM, Halo 4 is in the works. Shocking, I know. But who the magazine says is developing the game is what’s interesting. OXM says that Gearbox, the makers of Brother’s in Arms, are working on the next Master Chief saga.

The even bigger kicker is that the title isn’t coming to the Xbox 360. According to the rumor, Halo 4 will be a launch title for Microsoft’s next console. I personally had figured 2010 or maybe later for the next round of consoles to the hit the market. Considering we haven’t heard anything concrete, this would fall in line with that time.

We’ll have to see what happens, as Gearbox is saying it’s just a rumor and we all know Microsoft doesn’t comment on rumors and speculation. I’m fairly sure Halo 4 is in development somewhere, but when and where it surfaces has yet to be seen.
