Halo 4 will not be made for the Xbox 720, it has been revealed.

It was thought that the new installment of the Master Chief series would be developed for Microsoft's new console, but instead it will be released on the current 360 system.

343's Frank O'Connor told NeoGaf: "Halo 4 will be on Xbox 360 and use a modified core of the Halo engine(s). Not really a singular engine since it goes through fairly radical evolutions all the time."

Rumours have been abounding of a possible 720, or Ten, as it has been codenamed, release around the time of E3 in 2012, but this now seems unlikely if Bungie are willing to commit to a XBox 360 release of Halo 4.

Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary is released on November 15.

Classic first person shooters...
