Halo 5: Guardians Announced for Xbox One, Coming Late 2015
Halo 5: Guardians Announced for Xbox One, Coming Late 2015
Microsoft has finally put a name on Halo for Xbox One. Its called Halo 5: Guardians and its due to hit in the autumn of 2015.
Speaking on Xbox Wire, 343 Industries general manager Bonnie Ross said, Im happy to reveal that Halo 5: Guardians, the next installment in the legendary saga of the Master Chief, will launch on Xbox One in fall of 2015. In the tradition of every Halo game since its debut in 2001, it is a massive and exciting project.
Halo 5: Guardians is a bigger effort than Halo 4, added Ross. That applies to the content and scope of the game, as well as the technology in whats now a brand new and more powerful engine. Certainly there are some core elements carried over from prior games, but weve invested a huge effort in retooling our tech to take full advantage of the Xbox Ones hardware and ecosystem to create worlds and experiences worthy of next-gen.
Its a game that will hopefully demonstrate the talent, learnings and abilities of the 343 Industries team. A game that will incorporate the things we learned from Halo 4 about technology, aesthetics, performance and scale and perhaps more importantly, understanding and embracing a community of gamers who love what lies at the heart of this game, and the limitless potential of the Halo universe.
Pre-empting disappointment that the game will not arrive until late 2015, Ross said that something Halo-flavoured will be arriving this year. Halo 2 Anniversary, perhaps?
Many fans noted that I was very deliberate with my phrasing on stage at E3 last year," said Ross. "I spoke about a journey, rather than a destination and that journey definitely begins in 2014 with a giant leap, rather than one small step. Well give you much more information about our plans for this year at the Xbox E3 2014 Media Briefing on June 9, and were confident that Halo fans will be pretty excited about the special plans we have in store.
So until E3, Id like to express my gratitude to our massive and varied Halo community, whose energy, enthusiasm, criticism and kindness are the driving force behind what we do and what we hope to achieve in Halo 5: Guardians.
In addition to this, Ross also revealed that the Steven Spielberg produced Halo television series will also be coming in 2015.
2015 wont simply be the year of Halo 5: Guardians, said Ross. It will also be a year that offers us a unique opportunity. The opportunity to invite old friends and new audiences into that universe through the Halo television series, launched as a unique collaboration with Steven Spielberg and some of the finest creative minds in the business.
A series that will stand alone, as well as complement and enrich the game experience. Well have more to share on the Halo television series as we near its projected fall 2015 release.
