Halo Reach over a year away

E3’09: Q3 2010 release dated mooted for mysterious new Bungie title

Halo developer Bungie has stated that the recently revealed Halo Reach will not reach the market until autumn 2010, a year after the release of the next chapter in the Halo franchise – Halo ODST.

Speaking to GameSpot regarding the already touted Halo Reach beta, an unnamed Bungie staffer explained: “We don’t have an actual firm date for [the beta] yet, but I don't anticipate it being day and date with [Halo ODST].

“I can say you will need the Halo 3: ODST disc to access the beta when it does become available. I can confirm that that beta will go live sometime between the release of Halo 3: ODST on September 22nd and the release of Halo: Reach next fall.”

Literally nothing of the game is known as of yet. The obvious presumption is that it will be a prequel FPS, though Microsoft may be keen to take the brand into other genres as it did with Ensemble’s successful RTS Halo Wars.

As long as it's good who cares whether it's called Halo or not? OK, a lot of people, but from my perspective, if it plays well then great.
