Hello Gaming freaks out there! So today heard a special news that Halo 4 would be releasing on November 6, 2012!

Halo 4 marks the beginning of a new trilogy in the franchise staring the hero who started it all. Halo 4 pick up four years after the events of Halo 3. The original trilogy was made by developer Bungie, but Halo 4 is being developed by 343 Industries. 343 has taken charge of continuing the Halo franchise after Bungie “moved on” and has now decided to make multiplatform games.

“Halo 4 marks the return of John-117 – the “Master Chief” – as a playable protagonist for the first time since 2007’s Halo 3, as 2009’s Halo 3: ODST and 2010’s Halo: Reach focused on new characters and playing styles. Having been lost in space in the finale of Halo 3, John-117 and Cortana, adrift aboard the wreckage of the UNSC frigate Forward Unto Dawn, find themselves near a mysterious Forerunner planet, which was first seen at the end of Halo 3 once players beat the game on the highest difficulty setting. A key plot point will involve changes to Cortana and how her exposure to Halo and her operation beyond her natural lifespan may have contributed to her becoming “rampant.” Developers revealed in fall 2011 that the game will involve a “shield world,” a hollow artificial Dyson sphere type mega structure, possibly being set inside it.” – Wikipedia

Take a look at this really funny announcement video for Halo 4 below:

“We are beginning a new saga with ‘Halo 4’ and embarking on a journey that will encompass the next decade of ‘Halo’ games and experiences,” said Phil Spencer, corporate vice president of Microsoft Studios. “Millions of fans worldwide have been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to step back into the boots of Master Chief, and, with ‘Halo 4’ leading the charge, we’re confident 2012 will be the most successful year in Xbox history.” – Microsoft
