Halo 5: When Will it Come Out?

Gi - Halo 4 was a juggernaut success financially and it was critically praised. While the game came out Nov 4 2012, that does not mean people are not wondering when the next installment of the Reclaimer trilogy, Halo 5, will come out. Or at the very least, when will Microsoft announce the next Halo game from 343 Industries? There is the problem, Microsoft has been quiet. Extremely so, whether it is in regards to their next-gen plans or what games they plan to release in the final half of the year.

Time for some other IP's too on Microsoft's platforms.

Pope_Kaz_Hirai_II4026d ago

I would bet quite alot of money halo 5 will come out in the next 2 years on the new xbox.

Donnieboi4026d ago

Ye speaketh great wisdom, m'Lord.

iGAM3R-VIII4026d ago

well Bungie isn't producing Ip's for MS only anymore and because Destiny is coming this year, I could see Halo 5 coming on PS4/720 and maybe the S3/360 in 2014

turnerdc4026d ago (Edited 4026d ago )

How do you figure that iGAM3R? Micrsoft owns the Halo IP and also owns the studio (343 Industries) it created to continue the Halo franchise. Do you think Microsoft would allow it's biggest IP to appear on a competitor's platform? I see zero chance of that happening since Bungie no longer has any ownership of the Halo IP.

"well Bungie isn't producing Ip's for MS only anymore and because Destiny is coming this year, I could see Halo 5 coming on PS4/720 and maybe the S3/360 in 2014"

Bungie isn't making Halo games any more. 343 Industries is. They made Halo 4 and supervised the re-make of Halo:Combat Evolved Anniversary. MS Owns Halo and 343 Industries.

Bungie is working on Destiny, a new multi-platform massive online first person shooter series involving "dungeons" and exploration, with Activision as their publisher.

"Time for some other IP's too on Microsoft's platforms"

Same could be said for Sony.

PS4 will have Uncharted 4,Twisted metal 7,killzone 4,5,6,7 and 8,Last of Us 1,2,3 and 4, Infamous 3&4,god of war 4,5,6,7 and 8 Ect,ect.

We won't see no hating on N4G about them games though will we.

Yes ladies and gents 343/MS will release Halo 5 but we knew this the same as Sony will be bleeding dry the same franchises they have been for the past 20 years.

SymphonicRain4026d ago

I'm all into fairness, but seriously? Most of those franchises are less than 10 years old. Uncharted came out 5.5 years ago, Killzone is 8.5 years old, inFamous is 4 years old, God of War is 8 years old, and Twisted Metal is the only game you listed that even comes close to 20 years old. And are you seriously gonna say that The Last of Us, a game in which we haven't been shown/told anything regarding a sequel, is milked? The game that releases in two months for the first time?

Can't wait to see what Microsoft has in store though.I kinda want to see Perfect Dark 3 come to the next Xbox.

Blaze9294026d ago

the fuck -.-? What is with these dumb articles lately?

It'll come obviously, with or after the next xbox. Definitely not the Xbox 360 and definitely not 2013 seeing as Halo 4 released 2012.

But with the success of yearly CoDs, Microsoft probably wouldn't slip up on the chance to have Halo 5 as a launch title for the next xbox.

Halo 4 was a nice pick up on the story. I think Reach left a bad taste in a lot of fans mouths unfortunately. Halo 4 should've been Reach all the way around. I'll look forward to halo 5 but MP wise, I care and care less.

xDHAV0K24x4025d ago

I loved Reach. The ending was amazing, the downfall of Noble team was epic and the space mission/powerups was refreshing. Halo 5 should arrive 1/2 way thru the 720's first yr at least cuz Halo 4 needs more time to shine

Shadonic4026d ago

I'd take some new IP's they can keep making halo not like there short on cash.

WUTCHUGUNNADO4026d ago

Halo 2's multiplayer will never be topped... bring back proximity voice

Jek_Porkins4026d ago

I think they take 3 years with the main installments, so I'd bank on a 2015 Halo 5 launch on the Xbox 720. By that time the install base should be large enough to warrant a Halo release and it'll do its typical 10-12 million, maybe more?

Looking forward to it very much, but would really love a Halo 2 HD remake to tide us over.

shivvy244026d ago

I dont see it going higher than 12million

Jek_Porkins4026d ago

Why not? Halo 4 is already past 8 million in just 5 months. You don't think a next gen Halo game has a shot at beating 12 million? I think it's not only possible, but likely.

shivvy244026d ago

@Jek , yea i get what ur saying but the fanbase for halo hasnt really grown , it ends up at 12mil and done , i mean 12 mil is still damn impressive

4lc4pon34026d ago

Im sorry but IMO I thought Halo games were pretty mediocre. I guess thats just me tho

Dms20124026d ago

I usually don't waste my time involving myself in a discussion about a game series I find "mediocre". let alone , play (because how else would you know) a series of games that I find mediocre.

Master Chief Became More Than A Machine In 343's Halo

In Halo 4, 5, and Infinite, Master Chief became a more nuanced, human character.

In spite of the Halo series’ struggles, 343 deserves praise for adding nuance and characterisation to the ever-beating heart of Halo - The Master Chief. Playing through Infinite, it's abundantly clear that the events of the current and previous trilogies have irrevocably changed the iconic hero. He’s no longer the ‘blank slate’ that was previously presented by Bungie. He’s a fatigued, damaged and fallible protagonist, and one who is meandering through currents of grief, while reveling in his newfound agency. Giving the Chief a compelling and meaningful voice was no small feat, and 343 should be proud of that victory.

This article completely misses part of the appeal of the original iteration of character in the original game trilogy. It was the Chief and Cortana vs an entire alien collective. The blank slate Bungie displayed in their games was genius, he was an mysterious hero a wide audience could identify with because he wasn't as clearly defined as most characters.

The books added a lot of lore and backstory but most Halo players just want a fun game with exposition that doesn't get in the way of gameplay, it's why the Cortana level in Halo 3 was derided.

Not every character has to be a damaged soyboy, a soldier has to suck it up and do his duty.

BandarHub399d ago

A lot of people give the 343 version of Master Chief a lot of slack.
But Fundamentally he is still the same character, he just has a couple more dialogues. He has not changed in terms of attitude.
"Not every character has to be a damaged soyboy, a soldier has to suck it up and do his duty."
And that's what he has done at the end of the day, he did his duty. Watch his partner die, and was ready to destroy the weapon in Halo infinite....he is still the same soilder that everyone remembers

Halo Infintes one was a nice balance between both.

slate91399d ago

Chief and the halo franchise became a joke under 343

Sciurus_vulgaris399d ago

The 343i Master Chief has is based on the books. However, in Halo 4-Infinite, the Master Chief overtime become. gradually becomes more willing to show some emotion.

Obscure_Observer399d ago

"However, in Halo 4-Infinite, the Master Chief overtime become. gradually becomes more willing to show some emotion."

Which is awesome! I love how Master Chief become more John and less soldier.

I mean, the deal is alright… Unfortunately for me the Serious S doesn’t have a disk drive and unfortunately for Gamestop a lot of those games are on or have been on Gamepass/PSNow.

Sgt_Slaughter640d ago

Given the nature of backwards compatibility on new systems, this is a great sale in case you missed out on some gems from last gen.

Mandingo2020640d ago

Most of the games on Xbox are on game pass. The Switch games in this sale are trash c'mon farming simulator that's laughable. The PS4 games should be cheaper. I can't wait for the GameStop going out of business liquidation sale.

neutralgamer1992640d ago

Seriously man I don't get the hate on GS and I guess you want even less options and give more control to the publishers

And you want thousands of people to lose their jobs because you don't like a company. One thing I have noticed is how most who hate on GS haven't shopped at the actual stores in years. Many who hate on GS have also done so listening to others negative stories or experiences. People on YT want clicks and hating on GS is the cool thing

SurgicalMenace640d ago

It's not people's hate that would lose people's jobs, it's the shady business practices of the company. So what you're saying is that because people work there individuals should just support what they don't want to? Sound advice; Hitler too had supporters, employees, and advocates but people go around hating him too. They only hate because of other people's bad stories or experiences; they only spoke bad about him because they wanted attention. It's been decades; lets give his way another go. With your logic anything could be made to sound good.🤷🏾‍♂️

neutralgamer1992639d ago

SurgicalMenace

Seriously you used Hitler as an example to say company has shady practices

You don't have to shop at GS there are many other retailers. I shop there and vast majority of my experiences have been positive and most of the employees are super nice

SurgicalMenace639d ago

Just having some fun, bro.🤣🤣

Mandingo2020639d ago

There are other places to work besides GS. Plus, their benefits are trash so why not work somewhere else?

REDGUM640d ago

And none of those game you speak of you actually own as they are digital not physical & would cost more than $20 as the subscription costs more than that.

Mandingo2020639d ago (Edited 639d ago )

You know you can get game pass ultimate codes for the low on cdkeys or g2a right? You don't need to have a subscription 😂. GS is trash and I'd rather support the mom and pop game store here instead.

BlackTar187640d ago

Why are you people so full of hate? GameStop gives people jobs and provides a physical appearance to see things in the flesh and not just some soulless online experience.

Mandingo2020639d ago

You can get physical at mom and pop game stores plus you can get it online. GS is trash

neutralgamer1992639d ago

Because Mom and Pop shops cost two to three times more for the same product Angie the answer

BlackTar187639d ago (Edited 639d ago )

Mom and pop stores cost more and have even harder time competing against the internet. Also lie to me and tell you have a couple mom and pop stores near you selling games then lie and tell me you shop there.

IanTH640d ago

These sales, while potentially great, really struggle to be valuable given you can't easily parse what games are in stock. You can't just say "only show what is online & what are in my nearby stores". Probably 60-75% of these games in these massive lists are out of stock for shipping, and out of stock locally. It makes it a chore to find anything you'd want, much less 4 of them, much less enough if you wanted to get to a free shipping tier. It's a bummer.

Halo CE over Halo Infinite anyday

Not to mention the impact it had at the time

Flawlessmic710d ago

Halo 3 at the top is correct the only thing id change is swap infinite and halo ce around.

AuraAbjure710d ago

Halo 4 best campaign and multiplayer. Halo 3 best story.

ChubbyBlade709d ago

Are you trying to give people cancer?

AuraAbjure709d ago (Edited 709d ago )

Halo 4 has the hottest Cortana too which explains why the MC is the hardest in that campaign and why H4's multiplayer is the illest. Chief ain't afraid to take on teleporting enemies that can one hit melee kill.
