I hope that it will (much like Cowboy Bebop) be a "work which becomes a new genre itself."
Every time they have put out a new IP, it has changed the genre or at the very least challenged what that genre could and should be. Marathon showed that story did indeed matter in an FPS. Myth showed that building and resource management are not required and can get in the way of a great RTS. So many action games have a weak shooting mechanic and often FPS's try to work in an awkward melee system. Oni managed to create a system in which both shooting and melee worked in harmony and allowed the played to switch between the two smoothly. And not only did the original Halo show that an FPS could work on a console, but developers are still utilizing mechanics that Halo 1 introduced a decade ago.
We've been hearing about secret projects since before Halo 2 came out. Halo is great and all, but after 5 games, many of us are dying for something new. Whatever they are working on I hope they give us something soon. Even just a title. Its starting to feel like I'm waiting for Half-Life 2 Episode 3.
