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.

im not really a fan of halo but this game looks like it will grow on me.

Pretty pumped up for this halo. Everything about it will be so much better just because it's coming out on the new consoles which means better multiplayer and graphics.

I myself am not too much of a fan of the Halo series, but it is good that Halo 5 is set for release this year as it is one of those "Big games" on the Xbox consoles. It is great that they're striving to release it this year as, in my opinion, it is a must-have release for the Xbox One.

Halo 5 inbound around the holidays as usual. Can't wait to play it and hopefully I got an Xbox One by that time!

Not a big Halo fan but I would gladly give this new one a shot. It better not come out in November though. I hate when shooters come out in November.

It'll be an interesting game to watch but I most likely won't pick it up. Last halo game i enjoyed was halo 3

Laze I never really liked Halo, the only thing I enjoy is forge even then it can get a bit tedious.


Yah I always had fun building my own maps and sometimes building maps with my friends. I mostly built racetracks.
