Microsoft is registering a number of Halo-related websites using the Spartan Assault name, which suggests that the company is getting ready to announce a new title in the series or is protecting domains linked to the new live action series created by Steven Spielberg.

The domains that Microsoft now owns include, according to Fusible: SpartanAssault.net, HaloSpartanAssault.com, Halo-SpartanAssault.com, Halo-SpartanAssault.net and HaloSpartanAssault.net.

All of them have been linked to Mark Monitor, which usually works with Microsoft.

The company has promised a live action TV series for the Xbox One console, but the names might also be linked to another full title in the long-running franchise.

The websites could also be used to promote a new batch of content linked to Halo 4, which is available on the Xbox 360.

Microsoft is also working on another Halo project using the Bootcamp name.
