Microsoft Shows off Halo 4 Game Trailer at E3
One of the biggest announcements of E3 2011 thus far was made at the end of the Microsoft Press Conference yesterday when the company announced Halo 4, the direct sequel to Bungies epic Halo 3, is being developed by the purpose built Halo developer, 343 Industries. You can see the E3 game trailer for Halo 4 below. Don’t get too excited though, as the game is expected to be released during the holiday 2012 time period if things go as planned.
The biggest omission was the lack of a new Halo game coming this year. After Halo 3, Halo ODST, and Halo Reach, there has been a new Halo game each of the past three years. However, Microsoft couldn’t go cold turkey. Instead we get Halo: Combat Evolved: 10th Anniversary Edition, a remade version of the original Halo game with updated graphics. It’s an interesting idea, but like most movie remakes, a risky one. And, in a last-minute tease just as the press conference ended, we saw a few seconds of Halo 4–but that’s not slated to release until “holiday 2012.” Assuming it stays on schedule, that’s roughly 17 months away.
