Well, the game teased in the “Keep It Clean” trailer has been formally announced and named:Halo 3 Recon.

As we surmised:

H3R is a prologue to the events in Halo 3 that tells the story from an all-new perspective: an ODST recon marine.

They didn’t name a date, though it was strongly thought to be coming on January 6, 2009. However, it’s coming Fall 2009. In other words, SOON.

[UPDATE: According to an Xbox.com News Flash, Halo 3 Recon will take place during the events leading to the return of Master Chief to New Mombasa in Halo 3. The game will feature a brand new campaign, four player co-op gameplay and new multiplayer content. Halo 3 Recon will include exclusive new multiplayer maps and Forge options as well as maintain what gamers loved from Halo 3 including Saved Films, screenshots and campaign scoring. (Thanks, X3F.)]
