Halo 5: Guardians slated for October release

Halo 5: Guardians will be hitting Xbox One this October.

The latest entry in Microsoft’s blockbuster sci-fi series will be launching worldwide on October 27th.

This was revealed in two trailers released by Microsoft. One depicts series hero Master Chief standing above an injured Locke – Halo Nightfall’s main character and Halo 5’s other protagonist. The second trailer depicts the reverse scenario.

We wanted Halo 5: Guardians to be the game that pays off the epic promise of the Halo universe in scope and scale and drama,” said Bonnie Ross, head of developer 343 Industries.

We want to amaze players with the sheer size of the worlds and battles they’ll experience, even as they question everything they thought they knew about its heroes, marvels and mysteries. #HunttheTruth is only the beginning and we can’t wait to debut the game to Xbox fans around the world at E3 this June.”
