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.

Is it just me or is Halo rushing these games out now? There once was years of gaps between games and now its months... Crazy

MonokumaPosted:

They could've at least made an inventive title for it

Halo games used to never be rushed into production having large gaps between halo ce, 2 and 3. Now 343 are dishing out each new halo game much quicker in comparision with the original trilogy. Due to this I really hope they have taken care with halo 5 as number 4 seemed to be dissapointing at parts. This is coming from someone who grew up with the game.
