Microsoft’s E3 website accidentally confirms Halo 4 is “on the way”


Microsoft’s E3 website accidentally confirms Halo 4 is “on the way”

Well, well, well…Just when we thought that we wouldn’t see another addition to the Halo franchise, Microsoft has accidentally pushed live an update on its E3-themed website which has confirmed that Halo 4 is in development and “on the way”.

Microsoft is still a few hours from its E3 2011 briefing but the Xbox.com went live with the update for a brief time, giving excited gamers the chance to see that Halo 4 is real, also confirming Dance Central 2, Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Kinect Star Wars and Kinect Sports 2.

Now, with Apple’s WWDC 2011 keynote starting just half an hour after Microsoft’s E3 briefing, some would say this is a deliberate ploy by the Redmond-based giant to generate some buzz to steal consumers away from coverage on its rivals.
