Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft: Halo: The Master Chief Collection for PC Just a Mistake; “Numerous” Games in the Works in the UK

MoHasanie on 06 August 2014

Yesterday several media outlets reported about a PC version of Halo: The Master Chief Collection allegedly “leaked” by Amazon, prompted by a post on NeoGAF. Today Microsoft Studios Global Product Marketing Manager Aaron Greenberg explained on Twitter that it’s just a listing mistake made by retailers:

Greenberg also mentioned that he’s visiting Microsoft’s first party studios in the UK, and that “numerous” games are in the works there.

http://cdn3.dualshockers.com/wp-content/themes/dualshockers2/images/blockquote_icon.gif) 20px 0px no-repeat transparent;">Great to be in the UK, spending the week visiting and meeting with our studios here.

http://cdn3.dualshockers.com/wp-content/themes/dualshockers2/images/blockquote_icon.gif) 20px 0px no-repeat transparent;">Yep, in the UK to visit our London Studios teams, Lionhead, Rare, etc.

http://cdn3.dualshockers.com/wp-content/themes/dualshockers2/images/blockquote_icon.gif) 20px 0px no-repeat transparent;">Always new stuff to see, a lot of great teams here working on numerous projects.

Unfortunately for PC gamers, we’re back to square one for Halo, and I’m not sure how likely it is for the main chapters of the franchise to ever return to Windows (probably not too likely).

On the other hand, I can’t be more excited to hear about some of the new projects in the works at Rare and Lionhead. Gamescom is coming, and Microsoft may very well have some surprises for us to bite on.

So hopefully this will put an end to those PC rumors...

I'd assumed as much, good to hear a confirmation. They really need the MCC to sell systems this holiday...

This puts the other thread to a shame. People didn't even believe it's not true even after proof was given.

Sounds interesting, hope they are working on a strategy game like Age of Empires though...


They have hinted at it, but Rise of the Nations is a given since they bought the ip recently

I imagine this coming to PC is still possible, just not anytime soon.

Looking foward to what ever Rare is working on.

Weird how MS have ended up in a position where they cant support there own platforms.



Goatseye on 06 August 2014

MS needs to rock Gamescom with Rare, Lionhead, Twisted Pixel, Press Play games that they've been working on.
