According a rumor yanked from the latest issue of Official Xbox Magazine, Gearbox may currently be working on Halo 4 as a launch title for Microsoft's next console. While rumors and speculation are all well and good, Gearbox CEO did hint that they were working on a huge project.

"I've started a new project," he wrote on Gearbox's official forums 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."

Gearbox have a pretty decent background when it comes to first-person shooters, having on a number of Half-Life titles and porting Halo: Combat Evolved to the PC for Microsoft. They've been working on Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway for what seems like forever, and are currently developing Aliens: Colonial Marines for Sega.

*long sigh of resentment* Who really cares? That's not for another couple of years anyhow. Do yourselves a favor and don't burden yourself with speculation. :D

STOP IT Gearbox!

Cancel all projects and focus all your time and effort on Aliens! Do it, and do it now! I don't want a substandard Aliens game.

Who cares? Halo is mediocre. It has always been mediocre and always will be mediocre.

I have to call BS on this, Gearbox makes some intelligent thinking games despite being FPS. Has anyone seen Tropic Thunder, you never go full retard man.

They should make a game where you are forced to spend the entirety of it as the Arbiter so we can laugh at all the people who threw a fit because they had to look at his hand for a while instead of Master Chief's.
