Bungie Seeking Publisher for New IP and Final Halo

So maybe a few of you have heard that Bungie is going to be moving to an original IP and that Halo: Reach is the final game that Bungie is doing for Halo. I know, I can hear fanboys/girls hearts breaking and several planning to write a petition to help convince Bungie otherwise.

Anyways, if that isn't news, then you'll be somewhat glad to know that Bungie, at least claiming, they are "Close" to getting a publishing deal for the new IP. Now, no one knows what this new IP is. Only thing known is it's a new title. So let's see if it's a new FPS, like Halo and Marathon; if it's a third-person action game, like Oni; an RTS, like Myth; or if it'll be into a new genre they haven't went into before.
