‘Halo 5: Guardians’ Announced

343 Studios announced via the Xbox WIre at 3 o’clock this morning that the next saga in the “Halo” series is ready to be discussed. “Halo 5: Guardians” is slated to hit Xbox One in Fall of 2015. 343 is stating that this is a much larger undertaking than its predecessor since they have retooled their hardware to take advantage of the Xbox Ones infrastructure. 

Any time you transition to a new platform, there is the opportunity to look at things with a new perspective. For us at 343 Industries, the launch of the Xbox One was an opportunity to think about what stories we wanted to tell, how to tell them, and how best to push the “Halo” franchise to showcase the platform. And, most importantly, combining our passion for “Halo” with the vocal and informative input from our fans.

With the Halo TV Series produced by Steven Spielberg also hitting next year 2015 sounds like it will be the year of Halo. I’m sure we’ll get more information on this at E3.
