It’s a busy day over on the Microsoft PressPass site with no less than 6 announcements (we’ll be covering a few others shortly). The most interesting news to us though is the news about Halo 3: Recon, the sequel to Halo 3 being released for the Xbox in fall 2009.

The announcement was made at the Tokyo Game Show.

Here’s an excerpt from the press release:

To the delight of devoted fans across the world, Microsoft debuted “Halo 3: Recon,” developed exclusively for Xbox 360 by acclaimed developer Bungie. “Halo 3: Recon” is a new chapter in the “Halo” saga that lets gamers experience events leading up to the epic story told in “Halo 3″ through the eyes of a new hero in the “Halo” universe. The stand-alone expansion, set to release in fall 2009, extends the award-winning “Halo 3″ experience with hours of new campaign excursions and multiplayer gameplay. In addition, attendees were given an all-new glimpse of the Xbox 360 exclusive strategy game “Halo Wars” from Ensemble Studios. By showing campaign mode for the first time, the live demo provided viewers with a thrilling taste of the revolutionary gameplay and new perspective of the “Halo” universe. Players will be able to enjoy the full experience when “Halo Wars” hits retailers in early 2009.
