[UPDATE] Following the publication of this story, a Microsoft representative told GameSpot that the Tesco product listing is "not indicative of a Halo product launch."

"This listing is not indicative of a Halo product launch," the representative said. "We have no news to share of future Halo titles."

Not only has United Kingdom retailer Tesco revealed Call of Duty: Ghosts today, but the shop has outed (via Videogamer) a product currently listed as "Upcoming Halo."

The listing includes generic Xbox 360 box art and a 2013 release date. A Microsoft representative was not immediately available to comment.

Microsoft has previously confirmed Halo 5 and Halo 6, as part of the Reclaimer Trilogy. The most recent entry in the science-fiction shooter series was November's Halo 4.

A new Halo game has come to market every year since 2009, those being Halo 3: ODST (2009), Halo: Reach (2010), Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary (2011), and Halo 4 (2012).

Microsoft is openly hiring for the future of the Halo brand, which may include games for the company's rumored next-generation platform, believed to be announced next month. The Halo team is seeking, among other developers, a person with MMO experience.
