Halo on Xbox One News Coming at E3 2014

Posted on by

Halo Xbox OneA recent tweet from Microsoft’s Phil Spencer has revealed that 343 will unveil Halo news at this years E3 and apparently not during Microsoft’s Spring showcase.

“Halo news will be coming at E3. 343i has a great plan in place, will be cool to share with everyone.”

Jessica Shea, Senior Community Manager for 343 industries replied to the twitter thread with “Good things are coming,… Oh yes, they’re coming… !!”

In 2012 we got some of our first looks of Halo 4 at the spring showcase prior to E3 2012 -and many people have expected the same events to occur for the upcoming Halo title for Xbox One but it appears this may not be the case.

Many people are speculating that we might see a Halo 2 Anniversary announcement at E3 since Halo 2 was released 10 years ago and 343/Microsoft personnel has seemingly been hinting at all things related to Halo 2. Others still think we’ll be getting an announcement for the continuation of Master Chief in Halo 5. Perhaps we’ll have both announcements, because in the end we don’t know what “Halo on Xbox One” really is.

Halo 2 Anniversary Master Chief Prototype Toy?!

Posted on by

Earlier today HaloWaypoint began tweeting out photos of some toys at this year’s Toy Fair in New York. Among the photos, 2 of them were of prototypes from the popular McFarlane Toys. The first being a prototype Master Chief figure modeled after the Halo on Xbox One trailer that we’re all very familiar with.

Complete with a cloak and a promethean boltshot. In regards to this photo, there isn’t much to say. The real story lies within the second photo; A photo of a Halo 2 Master Chief prototype. So here we are again, it feels like 343 is teasing us.

I would just like to point out that this isn’t some old left over toy from 2004. McFarlane toys didn’t start making Halo toys till after Halo 3’s launch. Prior to this, Joyride was making Halo toys (most notably the one used for the famous Arby ‘n’ the Chief Machinima series). This figurine begs the question. Why make one for a game that’s over 10 years old?

Halo 2 Anniversary Confirmed 2014 by Steve Downes

Posted on by

GameZone released a snippet from an interviewed Steve Downes, the long-time voice of Master Chief, and he told them that we shouldn’t expect to see Halo 5 in 2014, but that the series will still see at least one release this year.

“I think you may be ahead of yourself on Halo 5,” Downes said. “I wouldn’t expect anything until 2015. What you can look forward to this year is an anniversary edition of Halo 2.”

No official statement has been made by 343 Industries or Microsoft.

Are you excited for a potential Halo 2 Anniversary?

 

RUMOR: HALO 2 ANNIVERSARY FOR XBOX ONE 2014 AND HALO 5 DELAYED

Posted on by

Now normally I wouldn’t make a post about this, but there are some STRONG rumors that surfaced on NeoGAF by a apparently “verified” user who works within the industry.

The user dropped a bunch of information, which as of now has yet to be confirmed or denied so keep that in mind. The user revealed that Halo 2 Anniversary would be coming out on November 11th, 2014 for Xbox One, along with the delay of Halo 5 for one year (to 2015). The user went on to say that there will be a Halo 5 beta included with Halo 2 Anniversary and that H2A will actually have two versions, with one of them including ports of Halo 3 and Halo 4 for Xbox One. This all seems to good to be true, I am slightly skeptical, but other credible NeoGAF users have flip-flopped over the user’s verification but have also stated that Microsoft is pursuing this guy for releasing trade secrets. Who knows at this point.
