Gearbox working on 'Halo 4'?

Gearbox Software shut down an interview after it was asked if it was working on the next Halo game.

Company boss Randy Pitchford failed to deny involvement with the sci-fi franchise during a chat with Eurogamer.

"Well, I'll tell you, there's a couple of games that Gearbox has announced," he said. "We've announced Borderlands, and we've announced Aliens Colonial Marines with SEGA and Fox, and it's no secret that we have some other things in development."

When pressed further about Halo 4, he "practically [leapt] from his seat" to add that they couldn't comment further, reports the website.

Pitchford later claimed that the question was "a curveball".

Gearbox worked with both Bungie and Microsoft to bring the first Halo to the PC in 2003.
