Has Gearbox Been Hired to Continue Halo?

"Earlier this week, Gearbox Software President and CEO, Randy Pitchford, revealed that the company is in the early stages of a new project that is the most important development they have ever worked on.

If Gearbox is indeed developing the next Halo game, could this be "Halo: Chronicles," the new chapter co-created by Peter Jackson, or are we looking at the first news of Halo 4?" writes César A. Berardini.

that would be great!!

[Iamback]

I am sure he is talking about "borderlands". That game has been hyped a LOT

[shotputking]

borderlands is not in the early stages... it was playable last september, and is supposed to be released later this year.

i've heard a few rumors that gearbox is working on the next dead rising... but it's all speculation until something is announced.

[mintaro]

i wouldnt be surprised, after all to the best of my recollection, they did work on halo for the pc

[VirusE]

I am a HUGE halo fan but i honestly think MS needs to let the core halo series have a few year break. I dont want to see them pull a tony hawk with something i love so much.

[Bnet343]

No dude screw that, looks at how many spin off Mario has had, why cant halo have it then? How about Final fantasy? 13 games not including spinoffs. no, they should continue halo and they will.

@ #3

Agree!!!

I'm the biggest Halo series fan, its my favorite game but they definitely need to give it a break!

[etownone]

a break????

we get a halo game once every 3-4 years...and you want a break??

look at FF, MGS, Mario, Tony Hawk

[LaChance]

A new HALO with geow kinda graphics would be great

[AceLuby]

It's called Unreal Tournament...

j/k, but not really, what more do you want?

[etownone]

agreed that would be awesome.

[bigjclassic]

Halo Chronicles for 360. Gearbox dont they make shooters??
So is this gonna be FPS or TPS??
*dont care either way*

[Bnet343]

You don't care but you're asking. My god ....

[Eclipticus]

this sounds like a lot of speculation and grasping at straws..
Nowhere in his quote is anything halo related mention or ever, a pre-existing IP. maybe its a whole new IP.

Maybe he is working on HOWARD THE DUCK the MMO!

[Shroomy]

Halo 1 on the PC was a pretty crap port IMO, I don't want to see Gearbox touch another Halo game! :(

[heyheyhey]

well gearbox are excellent devs so it would be wise for M$ to let them handle Halo

[Harryhit4]

Man, I hope not. I'd like to see Halo stay with Bungie. It's just like a series of movies that switch directors, like Harry Potter. Since they have different styles, it seems so different than the original experience.

[Iamback]

Dude, bungie wants to do something else, MS want more money from HALO brand.

[Elginer]

see a Halo game coming from Gearbox that would be BETTER than anything Bungie has done.

[poopface1]

could be true as bungi said they were doing somthing totaly different. I'm excited to see as long as it isnt oni 2. I think gear box could do a great job as they made the half-life 1 expansion pack "opposing force." It was a pretty good expansion pack.

[Fade_Walker]

Brothers in Arms, Halo PC, Half Life PS2, Borderlands

there are not that many developers that i would trust with a series such as halo

[urban bohemian]

Surely thats important Aliens is a massive franchise?
