Bungie hasn't forgotten about Master Chief--the story of the star of the franchise will continue in an upcoming game.

Despite claiming that Halo 3 was the end of a trilogy, developer is now assuring fans that hero Master Chief will continue his story in some future instalment.

G4TV writes about a panel at Comic Con San Diego in which Bungie's Frank O'Connor states that Master Chief will appear in a future game. "We'd have to be the world's biggest assholes to not follow through on his story."

It's unlikely to occur in the upcoming Halo: Reach, but surely another Halo game or two are in the works that might fulfill O'Conner's promise.
