Game "far too early to talk about".
In its latest podcast, Halo developer Bungie has revealed that its next game will be "something totally different" from what the developer's fans know the studio for.
Speaking on the podcast with content manager Frank O'Connor, lead designer Christian Allen and writer Luke Smith, Brian Jarrard, director of franchise and community affairs revealed that from what he's seen of the new, super-secret game, it's "pretty cool".
AdvertisementSpeculation has been rife on what Bungie, acclaimed developer of the blockbuster Halo series, will do next, now that Halo 3 has been out for a number of months and the studio has gained independence from ex-parent company Microsoft.
Unfortunately, Jarrard remained tight-lipped, saying the game was "far far too early" to talk about. He did, however, say that "eventually... we'll have a lot of cool things to start talking about."
He said: "It's tough for us to really get into the stuff our listeners would love to hear about which is what we're currently working on.
"We can say... is sort of Bungie's next game that isn't Halo 3 expansion, DLC type stuff, this would be something totally different from Bungie.
"(It's)far far too early in its state to even say more than that at this point, but eventually I'm sure we'll have a lot of cool things to start talking about.
"I can just say that some of the stuff that I've seen is pretty cool."
What do you think Bungie's next game will be? Let us know in the comments section below.

by looking at bungies game, i bet its a new FPS. And when he said it isnt a halo. i think maybe it is a realistic game. like call of duty.
