When Halo 4 launches this coming Fall, there is only one brand of headsets that will bear the name of the game officially. Mad Catz and Microsoft have signed an agreement that will allow Mad Catz to produce a line of Halo 4 branded Tritton headsets to correspond with the game’s launch.

While the details regarding the specific models to be released, Mad Catz has stated that it will be crafting designs in line with both the technological and aesthetic designs of the Halo universe. According to the official press release from Mad Catz, which you can find on the next page, 343 Industries and Tritton staff have been working closely together on this line of products.

We expect a lot more information to be revealed regarding this partnership later this Summer.
