Industries Working On Halo 6 Already

In a magazine called The Ultimate Guide To The Halo Universe (via GamesRadar+) franchise director Frank O’Connor explained that not only do the team know what is happening in the next game, they know what is happening to Master Chief over the next ten years.

“We do kind of know what’s going to happen in the next game pretty well at this point” , O’Connor says.

O’Connor revealed that they are already at a stage where serious planning and writing are being done for “Halo 6”. ‘OK, we’ve got to finish telling the story that we had in Halo 2, but we also have to move it forward.’ So we kind of had the luxury, as Bonnie said, of being able to bond the universe and figure out roughly where the story is going to go. “We know what’s going to happen in the next game, and we kind of know what’s going to happen to the Master Chief ultimately”, he added.

The video embedded above features Master Chief’s team as they board a derelict Office of Naval Intelligence research facility to ensure that something there doesn’t fall into the Covenant’s hands.

What do you hope for, story-wise, from Halo 5 and subsequent Halo games?

The 343 had previously stated that Halo 4 would be the beginning in The Reclaimer Trilogy, but those plans have since expanded into a saga.

The 343 seems to know what they want to do with the Halo franchise.

“If you start making those stepping stones too rigid, then you’re not being realistic about the game development process”, he continues. Let us know in the comments and be sure to follow OnlySP on Facebook and Twitter for more news.

“We have even starts, a level playing field, [and] a variety of game modes that cater to that taste”, said Holmes to the VentureBeat.

Halo 5: Guardians is set for release on October 27 for the Xbox One. At least, judging by Halo 5’s characters, they are referencing source material so the series should remain true to what we know.
