They have finally said it. When speaking to EuroGamer, Bungie revealed that they currently have ‘no plans’ to continuing the Bungie Halo sage after ODST.

“We’ll never say never, but currently Bungie has no plans to make new Halo 3 content beyond the release of ODST,” Bungie told Eurogamer. “We will, however, continue to support the Halo 3 online experience with regular updates to matchmaking playlists and wield the Banhammer as needed.

“With Forge and the Mythic map Sandbox we’re already seeing the community stepping up to create some great new maps and gametypes that will offer more variety and longevity to the game down the road.”

However, games producer Allen Murray said that the studio would work on Halo 3 for “probably” two more years before given it up.
