A 'very special' Halo: Reach announcement will leave Microsoft's lips on Thursday, the firm has told CVG.

The news will arrive at an invite-only event in London - which we'll be at front and centre, don't you worry.

And do you know who else will? Baldy Gadget Show man Jason Bradbury and Rio Ferdinand. Yep, Rio 'I'm really supposed to be at a drugs test' Ferdinand. Nope, we don't know why either.

Perhaps Master Chief will return. In a Man Utd shirt. Or something.

A blurb sent over from MS this afternoon reads:

'England Football Captain Rio Ferdinand and The
Gadget Show's Jason Bradbury would like you to join them for a very special announcement this Thursday for the launch of highly anticipated entertainment blockbuster, Halo: Reach - out exclusively on Xbox 360 on September 14, developed by Bungie.'

Speculate away, dear readers... You'll know as soon as we do...
