Bungie set to develop Halo 4? [UPDATED!]

Bungie is currently auctioning off a cameo voice over in Halo 3 at EBay. The money which is generated by this auction will be supplied to Hollywood Arts, a homeless charity that reaches homeless young people through the arts including: video-gaming, music, movies, fashion, hair, makeup and drawing, providing them with artistic training and a chance to change how they see themselves; create a new community of mentors; and learn life and job-readiness skills to transition them off the streets into school or jobs.

One interesting part is a mention of Halo 4 in the auctions description which confirms a 4th game is planned even knowing Bungie revealed that Halo 3 would be the last in the series.

“Voiceover will be recorded at Blindlight Studios in Hollywood, CA before May 15, 2007 or this package will have to redeemed for Halo 4. Winner is responsible for transportation and accommodations to and from Hollywood, CA.”

You can see the auction page for yourself here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220081945101

We’ll have more news on the Halo series soon.

Stay tuned!

UPDATE: Bungie has now made this statement: "The cameo is for Halo 3, and the timeframe is tight, although the “wit” who wrote the eBay copy originally joked that if you don’t make the session in time, you’d have to end up in Halo 4. Note that was NOT an announcement, but rather a sad clunker of a gag."
