It looks like Halo 6 won't be revealed anytime soon, as 343 Industries has confirmed the studio won't be discussing the next major installment in its sci-fi shooter series "for quite some time."

In a post on Halo Waypoint, 343 Industries writer Jeff Easterling (aka GrimBrother One) addressed the absence of Halo 6 from Microsoft's E3 media briefing and dashed hopes of a potential reveal in the near future.

"While there's little to nothing that can be said on that front, it's been made clear that we won't be talking about Halo's next major title for quite some time," Easterling said. "And no, that doesn't mean Gamescom. Or PAX. Trust us, when we're ready to begin pulling back that proverbial curtain, you'll know. It won’t be soon."

Prior to E3 2017, 343 Industries confirmed that Halo 6 wouldn't be shown at this year's expo and shot down speculation that a Halo 3 Anniversary remaster was on the horizon. The studio did, however, tease "a little something" for the show, which ended up being a new expansion for Halo Wars 2 that will introduce the Flood to the strategy game this November.

343 has been working on Halo 6 for well over a year. The upcoming shooter won't feature any new playable characters, but instead focus on Master Chief.

I think it's for the best.
From what i read about Halo 5, people weren't too pleased with the title. And sales show that it has done bad, specially in the US (the biggest market for the series) where it's falling heavily.

Better let the series rest and come back with a bang!

so next E3 then

Whats going in the Halo story right now anyways?

I think H6 will be crossgen, a game for 2020, on both X1 and next xbox.

No need to rush it. Plenty coming out in 2017. I love hearing this type of news. Showing there putting alot of care into the last game of the trilogy. Halo 6 might just ebd the Halo Reclaimer Saga with a Bang.

Yeah, probably waiting for E3 2018.

Nope. Vgchartz is surely undertracking it not to mention that they don't track digital at all. Though, the campaign simply wasn't up to halo standards. It does need more time to rest.

Cortana is evil and everyone is trying ot track her down.

I wonder what they consider to be soon. Because their perception of soon could be completely different from mine.
