The drip-drop of E3 leaks tends to become a torrent around this time of year, but that also lets unscrupulous sorts invent their own. Step up Halo: Gravemind, a hitherto unannounced Halo spin-off apparently set for release this October - which doesn't actually exist.
A purported Snapchat image of advertising materials for what looks like a horror-themed Halo game (with some connection to Halo 6, going by the logo at the bottom of the cards) had began to gain traction on social media.
That's when 343's franchise development director Frank O'Connor took to Twitter to set the record straight:
Fakey McFakeskins tell me oh, how does your bogus "game leak" grow? With silver bells and photoshopped cockleshells. FAKE NEWS! #MHGA!

It does leave us back at square one with regards to what 343 will be showing at E3 this year - we know Halo will have some presence, but it won't be Halo 6-related.
We'll find out on Sunday, June 11, when Microsoft holds its E3 press briefing, with the new Project Scorpio console taking centre stage.
Joe Skrebels is IGN's UK News Editor, and he kind of likes the Gravemind idea he's made up in his head. Follow him on Twitter.
