The Setup
For several months, there have been rumors that, in addition to Halo Wars, there would be another Halo game, in the same vein as the blockbuster Halo 3. Was it all wishful thinking on the parts of the unwashed Halo gunners out there? Or was it a carefully orchestrated PR campaign by the Precursors-That-Be over at Bungie?
The Premise
Starting this week on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace, as well as on the Bungie blog, a video was floating about showing teaser cutscenes from the “Halo 3: Keep It Clean” entree. To jam on the fun, the video was reported to be released at 7:07 AM PST on 9/25/2008.
Is it a completely new game? Is it a game add-on, to be available via the Xbox LIVE Marketplace? Is it multi-platform? Rather than answering these questions, it seems (in typical recent Bungie fashion) to merely deepen the mystery… basically, heightening the curiosity levels of interested folks.
The Action
Some outlets have conjectured that “Halo 3: Keep It Clean” will be an “add-on campaign” to the Halo 3 game, but that term may be interpreted in a lot of different ways. It may be a new game, but positioned within an earlier portion of the Halo universe timeline and apart from the Halo Wars title.
However, given the recent influx of new games this season (both just released and in the pipeline for 4Q 2008), “Halo 3: Keep It Clean” (or will it be Halo 3: Keep It Clean ?) is going to have to be an over-the-top fun escapade to capture the hearts and minds of the gamer l33t and their fans.
