Halo 5: This Dick is an upcoming first-person shooter video game. Part of the Halo franchise, the game is being developed by 343 Industries and published by Microsoft Studios. Serving as the sequel to Halo 4, the game is scheduled to be released in 2015.

Plot

War breaks out when colony worlds are unexpectedly attacked. Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 goes missing, and Spartan Locke is tasked with hunting down the Master Chief and solving a mystery that threatens the entire galaxy.[3]

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.[4] 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."[5] Bonnie Ross of 343 Industries confirmed the game's Halo 5: Guardians title and 2015 release date in a May 2014 blog post.[6] The game will be exclusive to the Xbox One and run at 60 frames per second (FPS).[7] On the departure from the Xbox 360 hardware, Ross noted that the Xbox One allows 343 Industries to broaden the game's scope and utilize the console's dedicated servers.[8] Franchise development director Frank O'Connor explained that Halo 4 pushed its game engine to the limit, such that moving on to the Xbox One called for the development of a new game engine.[9]

A Halo television series is being produced by Steven Spielberg, set to air in 2015 in conjunction with the game's launch. Showtime is in negotiations to air the series.[10]

During their 2014 E3 press conference, Microsoft revealed that Halo: The Master Chief Collection will be released with an exclusive pass to access Halo 5's multiplayer beta,[11] which began December 29, 2014, and ran through January 18, 2015.[12]
