Bungie's new Halo in January?

New trailer live

Bungie have launched a teaser trailer of their latest, secret project, and 'something' related to Halo is clearly the order of the day.

The trailer features a myriad of burnt-out buildings, some kind of urban impact as well as displaying the Halo 3 logo in addition to the phrase "Prepare to drop".

The Bungie and Microsoft Game Studios logos are seen at the end, and some eager online commentators have already picked up on a date spied briefly - January 6th, 2009 - as well as the flickered message: "Maddie, where are you?"

No doubt the latter will spark an internet forum storm; although we're far more interested in the tantalizing January date... more as we get it.
