Is the UNSC Shotgun returning?

Ive seen the scattershot in gameplay (which looks and shoots very familiar to the unsc shotty). i was wondering if 343i has said anything about the UNSC shotgun coming back or being completely replaced by the scatterhot.

yes the unsc shotgun is returning

Yes, the shotgun is returning. As seen in this vid:

Yes the shotgun is returning

But this video’s shotgun looks to be a placeholder. Its the exact same model from reach. I mean, even the DMR has been edited since Reach, why shouldnt the shotgun?

Yes, it is a placeholder. Don’t worry, the Shotgun will be back, now we have three close combat weapons (Shotgun, Sword, Scrattershot) in the game.
