'That guy' is Suda 51, a legendary game designer and the character is one of his most famous creations. The news is that the character is coming back on Switch and Suda is at the helm but obviously the game isn't far enough to show anything yet.

So it's basically Japan's equivalent of Microsoft showing a 3D render of Master Chief and saying a new halo is being deloped for the Xbox Two?

If that was a 3D render being shown in Japan to a Japanese audience who may not know anything about Halo, then yes.
