Halo 5 reaffirmed for 2014 release

Microsoft allays delays fears following Halo omission from 2014 games list

An Xbox rep has reaffirmed that Halo 5 for Xbox One will be released in 2014.

Microsoft's senior PR manager for Halo, Rob Semsey, moved to appease the concerns of gamers who noted that, in an announcement on Monday regarding Xbox One sales, Microsoft exec Yusif Mehdi left Halo out of his list of anticipated Xbox One games coming in 2014.

Mehdi boasted of a "promising" lineup of Xbox One titles in 2014, touting Titanfall, Watch Dogs and several other games, but no mention of Halo 5 - which was announced at E3 last year for a 2014 release.

But this is not an indication of a delay, assured Semsey via Twitter. "Xbox Wire today mentioned a few 2014 titles; Halo on Xbox One not listed due to official name of the next title not announced yet," he reasoned (although the title is expected to be 'Halo 5').

"Rest assured your next Halo journey WILL begin in 2014," he added.

Mehdi announced that Microsoft had sold more than three million Xbox One units by the end of 2013 globally. "It's been incredible to see Xbox One selling at a record-setting pace for Xbox", he said.

Georgasm Halo is the only thing capable of making me buy an Xbox One


same here. I will get the xbone when halo 5 is more announced and when they shut down 360 servers in about 2 years.:(


I'll be waiting for a price drop, I have never used nor want Kinect. I'll stick to trailers, gameplay videos and streams to keep myself up to date.


the kinect is useful on the xbone while i play a game i can have it invite people to a party or use it to record things as i play without stopping

This doesn't seem very good. Usually a Halo game takes 3-4 years to create it has barely been 2. I don't like that at all.

Halo is the only real reason why I kind of want to get an xbone. I've played the series most of my life and I'd hate to miss out on the story

D3FEKT It's 343 industries so don't expect much. Halo series went down hill when they took over. Halo 4 was terrible.
I miss the 1million at a time halo players. Halo 4 struggled to even keep 50k.


Halo series has been down hill since Halo 3.
Halo Wars, Halo 3: ODST, Reach (Not bad but imo Halo 3 MP was better, and Campaign blew Reach out of the water) Halo 4 was... ok. I hope they do better with 5.


Personally, I liked Halo: Reach, I played a bit of Halo: 4, but never could get into it, as much as the other Halo's.
