Microsoft has said that the keenly awaited Halo 4 will be launched worldwide on 6 November 2012.
The Master Chief's next outing will see MS' in-house developer 343 Industries' raise the standard of "blockbuster interactive entertainment", the software giant said. Of course it will.
Set four years after the events that take place in Halo 3 [1], the new adventure promises to clear up confusion surrounding the fate of the Master Chief and his AI companion, Cortana, pitching the armour-faced hero against an ancient evil threatening the universe.
343 designer Brad Welch talked up the emphasis on the Halo 4 single-player story [2], customisable loadouts and the new multiplayer features, which includes free-for-all deathmatch modes and the ability to see through walls, Game Informer reports.
I bet this man is feeling pretty smug in his Master Chief suit [3] now. ®
