Microsoft announced a new Halo game for the Xbox One during its E3 2013 conference last week. While it’s largely assumed to be Halo 5 – Xbox boss Don Mattrick even referred to it as such recently – Microsoft Game Studios corporate vice president Phil Spencer won’t say if it’s the next core entry in the series or something in the style of Halo 3: ODST or Halo: Reach.
“It is the next Halo game that we are working on. We will talk more about actually the story arc in the game and how it plays out; we’ve got more time to talk about that.”
“But having [producer Bonnie Ross] come out and announce the game, making sure people know it’s a legitimate version of Halo coming out, and when it’s coming out, and features that they’re focused on we thought was…important.”
A couple of years ago, Halo 4 was announced as the beginning of “The Reclaimer Trilogy”. Halo 5 and Halo 6 would be a part of this series. Microsoft now says that the trilogy has become a saga “so we don’t want to limit the Reclaimer story within a trilogy.”
“While we originally said trilogy, we’ve actually expanded this to more of a saga, so we don’t want to limit the Reclaimer story within a trilogy.”
