An image snapped by a gamer seems to indicate that Microsoft has created a Limited Edition Xbox 360 home console linked to Halo 4 and that some stores are already stocking the device, although we still have to wait about 4 months before the game is launched.

The design of the hardware is a little different from what Microsoft has delivered for previous titles in the series and there’s the possibility that this is just an elaborate hoax and that Microsoft is preparing to offer something completely different.

The company did not comment on the image.

Halo 4 will see the series return to Master Chief and his AI companion Cortana as they battle a new alien threat.

The game will focus more on exploration and on mystery solving and gamers will also get access to a range of episodic cooperative missions.

Halo 4 will be launched exclusively on the Xbox 360 on November 6 of this year.
