According to EGM’s gossip-yammering agent Quartermann, developer Bungie is working on new title in the Halo universe. Specifically, a prequel to the original game that started it all. The rumored title is said to feature a third-person perspective rather than first-person, centering on the events of early struggles between ODST troops and the Covenant.

If Quartermann’s rumor report is to be believed, we can expect a full reveal of the title around the same as Gears 2 launches in fall.
