Halo 5: Guardians 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 on October 27, 2015 for the Xbox One.
At the 2013 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), Microsoft announced a new, then-untitled addition to the Halo series, along with a trailer appearing to depict a post-Halo 4 Master Chief. 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." Bonnie Ross of 343 Industries confirmed the game's Halo 5: Guardians title and 2015 release date in a May 2014 blog post. The game will be exclusive to the Xbox One and run at 60 frames per second (FPS). 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. On the departure from the Xbox 360 hardware, Ross noted that the Xbox One allows 343 Industries to broaden the game's scope as matchmaking and 4 player online campaign co-op will utilize the console's dedicated server support.
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.
Halo: The Master Chief Collection gave players exclusive access to Halo 5 's multiplayer beta, which began December 29, 2014, and ran through January 18, 2015. In response to the negative coverage of The Master Chief Collection 's broken launch, O'Connor announced that Guardians will not be broken at launch.
Halo 5 is NOT currently available on PC.
Platform(s) it will be available on are: XBox ONE.
We will update this area with Halo 5 system requirements as soon as we hear an announcement that it is coming to PC.
Unlike previous first-person shooters in the Halo franchise, it was confirmed by 343 that Halo 5: Guardians will not feature any offline capabilities; including local splitscreen for campaign co-op and multiplayer and will not have any offline local networking options. The removal of split-screen play has led to controversy within fans and a petition to bring local split-screen to the game.
