Halo 5: Guardians, also referred to as Halo 5, is an upcoming first-person shooter video game exclusive for the Xbox One. A direct sequel to Halo 4, the game is being developed by 343 Industries and published by Microsoft Studios. The game is scheduled to be released in 2015.

Development

At E3 2013, Microsoft announced a new, then untitled addition to the Halo series, along with a trailer appearing to depict a post-Halo 4 Master Chief. The upcoming Halo game is confirmed to be only on the Xbox One, and claimed to run at 60 frames per second. After E3, Microsoft Studios corporate vice president Phil Spencer said that the "Reclaimer Trilogy" had been expanded into a longer series of games, saying they "[didn't] want to limit the Reclaimer story within a trilogy". Spencer also clarified in an interview with IGN that while the next-gen game was not Halo 5, it was a "legitimate" entry in the game series rather than a spin-off. Bonnie Ross of 343 Industries officially confirmed the game's Halo 5: Guardians title and 2015 release date in a May 2014 blog post.
