It certainly was a big letdown for Xbox 360 fans when they heard Bungie Studios pulled a no show during the recent E3 event. Cheer up, though. Microsoft‘s head of Xbox business Don Mattrick had some good news to appease Halo fans of their absence during their video gaming event.

In an interview conducted by MTV News last Tuesday, Mattrick confirmed that Bungie was indeed working on a new Halo game for everyone. When pressed regarding the lack of Halo news during Microsoft’s recent press conference, he replied that the huge amount of content already released last Monday would not affect gamers even if they did release a few tidbits regarding the new Halo title.

In case you’re wondering if Mattrick was referring to their long awaited real-time strategy game Halo Wars or the previously announced Halo project collaboration with Peter Jackson, the answer was surprisingly neither. Apparently an entirely new Halo title is currently in the works and will be revealed when the time is right.
