It’s official: Development on Halo 4 has now come to an end, and the game has been shipped off to Microsoft for certification.

This announcement came today at a Halo 4 press event held in London by franchise development director Frank O’Connor.

“We had a big piece of news yesterday back in the office, which is that the game is literally finished at this point,” O’Connor said during the event. “They are handing it off through the various certification processes and that, and we’re done. It’s been three years of incredibly hard work by about 300 people.”

Halo 4 will be certified, printed, and shipped to stores in time for its November 6th release.
