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.

Vanoss After playing Killzone: Shadow Fall on my PS4 I doubt I will be getting any more Halo games, or any sci-fi shooters for that matter. Killzone was the sci-fi shooter that had *almost* everything I wanted in an FPS game - intricate design (not just random hallway after hallway), smart AI, hard gameplay (normal difficulty is difficult, hard difficulty makes AI even smarter and more powerful), and beautiful graphics. I think it's sad that Halo is being milked for all that it's got, and I really wish that developers would learn when to let a series go.

Lol says the Vannoss fan boy lewl....

Honey-Badger I hope this Halo will have a better campaign than Halo 4. To me Halo 4 felt really short.

Personaly i loved halo 4, especially the campaign. To me the game that felt short was reach. But i mean alot of people tend to disagree with me on this but I just straight out loved halo 4. But ODST will still always remain my favorite

nblz I can't wait to see Halo on the new console :D!


The graphics will be a lot better, I can't wait to see it either. :)

Just look at how far the graphics have came from their first game to Halo 4.


Hopefully the graphics will be a large improvement over Halo 4, even though Halo 4 looked great i am expecting much from this game.
