The Halo series' current
Reclaimer Trilogy is now a "saga," a Microsoft representative
confirmed with GameSpot during
E3.
"While we originally said trilogy, we've actually expanded this to more of a saga, so we don't want to limit the Reclaimer story within a trilogy," the representative explained. The Reclaimer Trilogy was originally set to span from 2012's
Halo 4 through the eventual
Halo 6.
Xbox head Don Mattrick recently referred to the franchise's E3 showing as "
Halo 5." Speaking with GameSpot, Microsoft Game Studios corporate VP Phil Spencer declined to say whether the next Halo game will be a fully fledged sequel or a spinoff in the vein of
Halo: Reach.
"It is the next Halo game that we are working on," Spencer told GameSpot. "We will talk more about actually the story arc in the game and how it plays out; we've got more time to talk about that." Whether the next game is
Halo 5 or something else, Spencer did note that it will be "a legitimate version of Halo."
