Bungie Shocks World with Surprise Game Announcement

Bungie announces Halo 3, the third and final game in the Halo Trilogy. Halo 3 will be released for Microsoft's Xbox 360 in 2007.

The game was revealed to the world at the Microsoft press conference at Grauman's Chinese Theater, in Hollywood, CA. By the time you read this, the announcement trailer should be available for download on bungie.net and directly to your Xbox 360, in full HD glory from Xbox Live Marketplace. Read no further if you want to avoid spoilers.

Nobody saw it coming. Halo 3! Who knew? For the last year or two, people have speculated about what our next project was and surprisingly, in all that time, not a single person guessed that it would be Halo 3. Not one.

We declare it the best kept secret ever.

Holy crap! I wasn't going to get a XBOX 360 until I read this... but now... I'm trying to sell everything that I can so I can get one. :P

Btw, GREAT job on the trailer! Once I get a 360 and sign-up for Xbox Live, I'll be sure to watch the high-def version!

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

Wow, Achronos got a pic on the forums without linking it. I was wondering what your guys codename for Halo 3 was?


Oh, kick ass trailer by the way.

I wouldn't say that the announcement "Shocked" me, but the trailer did.
