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.

Axe I never really enjoyed the Halo series. Maybe this one will change my mind, but I doubt it.


Halo 3 was the only 1 i ever really liked, Reach was ok but couldn't top Halo 3.


halo 3 was the best everything past that was bad especially halo 4 when they introduced the perk function halo 3 was based purely off skill nobody had a advantage


I liked playing custom games with friends on Halo 3 was the best time ever. It wasn't the same on the other Halo's.


Playing custom games in Halo 3 brings back so many memories.


Yeah same, It was so much fun.

Zoidberg GAH IM SO HAPPY. I've been waiting for the next Halo, I didn't like Halo 4 all too well.


Hopefully it will be a big improvement over all other halo games in the franchise. I am greatly anticipating it myself

I am hoping it goes towards the Halo 3 feel, you know?
