Halo 4 is easily one of the most anticipated games of the year, and if the latest developer diary is any indication, 343 Industries is hard at work on what is sure to be an exciting refresh of the series. Unlike other developer diaries, 343 Industries opts to simply show you the men and women working tirelessly on every aspect of Halo 4 without any kind of narration other than the beautiful and haunting soundtrack. Check it out for yourself after the jump.

While Bungie has always been heralded as the pioneer of the Halo franchise, 343 Industries doesn’t appear to be daunted (or limited, for that matter) by the legacy the esteemed former developer left behind. The confidence with which the studio moves forward is more than reassuring, and while fans of the series are left holding their breath to determine if Halo 4 meets expectations, hype levels are reaching their maximum. Be sure to keep an eye out for the most anticipated Xbox 360 game of the year this November.
