Halo 4 developer session to kick off Eurogamer Expo 2012

343 Industries' Frank O'Connor will kick off this year's Eurogamer Expo, the UK's largest gaming festival, with a Halo 4 developer session.

As one of the biggest Xbox 360 games of the year, it's a natural fit. The Halo 4 session will be the first of the show and will occur at midday on Thursday, September 27.

"We were looking around for a big video game icon to open the show and they don't get much bigger than the Master Chief," said Tom Bramwell, Eurogamer Operations Director. "The Master Chief is more than a video game star – he's a pop culture icon – and we can't wait to see what 343 Industries has in store for us."

In addition, fans for the first time in the UK will get access to the "Halo Infinity Multiplayer" experience. Fans can engage in the competitive multiplayer modes of War Games on the show floor.

The Eurogamer Expor, which returns to London's Earls Court, will take place from September 27-30, and is expected to host over 50,000 gamers.
