Talk about one of the greatest exclusive of the year. According to Sarcastic Gamer, this morning Bungie leaked explosive news, they revealed that this next installment in the Halo series. The game will be following the early years of Master Chief. In other words it’s a prequel that follows Master Chief’s first battlefield experience. Yeah, that exactly what it is……….

Bungie described the game: “A younger Master Chief, in the armed forces learning his way. Full of wonder, John has to come to terms with his military upbringing and being one of the newly christened Spartan warriors. John will come of age with the player. The player will be with him every step of the way. From his first day at school, to his first kiss, to prom.”

And that’s not all. Bungie promises 17 levels, 2 player co-op where the second person will play Cortana, back then a teen runaway, with a heart of gold, that joined the army before becoming the A.I. that we’ve come to know.

But, wait there’s more. Sarcastic Gamer also obtained a title for the upcoming game intitled, Halo: The Wonder Years.

Isn’t it funny how many times inside sources are used in a rumor. According to Sarcastic Gamer’s “protected source”, Halo 4 is already in full development over at Bungie. The source didn’t get the chance to give them any details on the rumored game at this point, but he/she did confirm for sure that Halo 4 is an official project in development.
