Halo isn’t going anywhere
The newHaloinstallment teased during Microsoft’s E3 2013 press conference is no longer the second game in theReclaimer 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,” a Microsoft rep confirmed toGameSpot. In other words, there’s much moreHalowhere that came from.
This upcoming Xbox One title is indeed the real deal — not some sort of spinoff — even if it wasn’t explicitly announced asHalo 5. “It is the nextHalogame that we are working on,” said Microsoft Game Studios VP Phil Spencer, who called this “a legitimate version ofHalo.”
That was certainly an unexpected teaser trailer, but I don’t see the new game departing too far from the series norm. Depending on the time frame, this news isn’t inherently bad. Microsoft, let’s not pump out follow-ups year after year, please.
