Gearbox responds to Halo 4 rumor: Confirms that it is indeed a rumor photo
     Rumortoid

Earlier today we mentioned a Rumortoid suggesting that Gearbox (Brothers in Arms, Aliens: Colonial Marines) might be working on a brand new Halo sequel. The rumor came from Official Xbox Magazine and suggested that this title would be for Microsoft's Xbox 360 successor console.

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.

Isn't Gearbox also doing an Aliens game?

I'd like to hear more about that. I'm just saying...

Who knew, Master Chief is suicidal. Seriously, you probably wouldn't point the gun at your chin if it were real.

And why is he behind Paddy's Pub? I didn't know the covenant had alleys and dumpsters.

GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM HALO!

It's a trilogy. Leave it at that. If you're going to make a game, do a spin off if you have to. Just leave the original trilogy alone.

@brianderailment

Yeah, also why is everyone's uniform squeaky clean?

I doubt that the people who put that scene together have actually ever been in the service.

Oh bitching about fictional situations...

well, i would like bungie to do it, but ensemble are doing halo wars and that looks like it's stuck with the 'look' of halo and isn't going to mess things up to much, so if they did do it, it could be good...maybe.

also, the legendary ending of halo 3 confirms it's not 'just a trilogy' they need to explain what happens.

This might as well be a confirmation. If they weren't doing it (and perhaps even if they were), they wouldn't say "Oh that's just a rumor," they would say, "That's false."

If someone does do Halo 4, These would probably be the ones to do it because they already did halo for the PC
