As previously rumored, Bungie’s next game is rumored to be set in the Halo universe, but will have no Master Chief. Instead, it’s to be a third-person shooter set before the events of the Halo trilogy.
According to the popular rumor page of the magazine, the rumored game is a third-person action/shooter hybrid that will chronicle the early battles between the ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Troopers) and Covenant.
The Master Chiefless adventure would hit the Xbox 360 in late 2009 and may or may not be related to the “Peter Jackson Halo Project” we’ve been hearing about forever. Quarterman closes off the Halo-future tidbit telling readers to expect a massive reveal around the time Gears of War 2 hits retail.
Bungie’s really stretching itself, huh? It’ll be interesting to see how a Master Chief-less Halo game will be received.
