Video: Halo 4′s release date is November 6, Conan O’Brien is involved

Last night, Microsoft-owned 343 Industries announced that Halo 4 will be released on the Xbox 360 on November 6. We don’t know if it will be available as a digital download yet (probably not at first) but the buzz is already stirring. The first step in an online marketing onslaught is a 10-minute long segment on last night’s episode of Conan.

It turns out that the voices of Conan O’Brien and his show co-host Andy Richter will be heard portraying minor characters in Halo 4. This already-viral video shows their awkwardly (and intentionally) bad recording session at the game studios.

If you’re looking for details about the new game in this video, you won’t find them — but you will find a lot of humor.
