Microsoft appears to have inadvertently revealed its E3 lineup ahead of the conference later today, including an announcement that Halo 4 is on the way. Information was displayed on the official Xbox.com E3 streaming page, showing a handful of upcoming releases, including Kinect Star Wars, which was revealed over at Entertainment Weekly yesterday, and the aforementioned Halo 4. Multiple websites including weblog Kotaku have archived a screenshot, which states, "The news millions of Halo fans have waited for: Halo 4 is on the way." Other titles set to be revealed are Dance Central 2, a sequel to Harmonix's Kinect dancing title, Kinect Sports Season 2, and Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, although it is yet to be revealed what this anniversary edition will include.
