Stick Skills - Article: Halo Title in the Works?

Halo 3 is still in its infancy in terms of how long its been out, but already we’re hearing talk of another Halo game. In the latest Bungie Weekly Update, you’ll find:

"A Peter Jackson-helmed Halo project was announced at X06 in Barcelona,” said a Microsoft spokesperson. “Since then, Microsoft Game Studios has been hard at work collaborating with Peter Jackson and Bungie on the development of that project. At this time, it’s necessary to grow the internal team to keep pace with development. Bungie will continue to remain involved in multiple aspects of the Halo Universe with MGS."

"So what does this all mean? In a nutshell, Microsoft is building a development team to work on future Halo game titles - the first one being collaboration with Peter Jackson. Just like the upcoming Halo Wars from Ensemble, this isn’t "our" game. However, having worked with him already, we are possibly more excited than you are to see what someone of Peter Jackson’s imagination, talent and resources can bring to a Halo game experience. Bungie will, however, continue to remain very much involved in multiple aspects the Halo Universe as part of our ongoing relationship with Microsoft."

They also go on to state that they are extremely busy with a few projects in their studio, and apparently we will be hearing about them in the near future. They touch on the fact that since they are now their own bosses, they can have more "top secret" plans at their own discretion.

Lovers of Halo 3 can also prepare themselves for a full-time Team SWAT playlist (thank you!) that will be ranked and will require both forms of downloadable content. There are a few other tidbits located in their update, and if you’d like to check it out, here’s the link.
