Halo 4 Receives an Official Release Date

Fans of the Halo series can get ready to hand over your money in 2012, as Microsoft has given Halo 4 an official release date.  Gone are the rumors that the game would slip into 2013 or launch on another system, as your countdown to having the game in your Xbox 360 can now go live.

Microsoft confirmed this morning that Halo 4 would be available for the Xbox 360 on November 6th, 2012.  Halo 4 marks the first Halo title to be developed without any input from Bungie.  While it’s bittersweet for fans, 343 Industries looks to completely move forward with their own “twist” on the Halo series.

In addition to the announcement of the release date, a video was released commemorating the launch and the game will also appear on Conan O’Brien tonight.  Halo fanatics will be able to tune into Conan’s show tonight at 11PM Eastern on TBS.
