Halo 4 launching November 6

Something is brewing on the Halo 4 front, and Conan O'Brien's Team Coco will be announcing what that is.

Larry Hryb, director of programming for Xbox Live, and best known as "Major Nelson," wrote on his Twitter account yesterday that Team Coco will be delivering Halo 4 news at some point today. The Verge followed that up with a report last night, citing sources who said Team Coco will announce that Halo 4 will launch on November 6.

Halo 4 is one of the most anticipated game launches this year. The title will feature Master Chief, the hero of the original Halo trilogy, and kick off a new trilogy in the series. However, this time around, the games are being developed by Microsoft's 343 Industries, and not Bungie, which created the Halo franchise.

Details on Halo 4 have been leaked out from time to time, but according to the game's official Web site, the title will ask Master Chief to "confront his own destiny and face an ancient evil that threatens the fate of the entire universe." Microsoft has so far only said that the game will launch in 2012.
