So, it seems that we’re going to be getting something Halo-related shown off at E3 this year by Xbox and Microsoft. However, before you get excited hold on, because it won’t be Halo 6.

Halo’s community manager Brian Jarrard is the source of this news, as he told people on Reddit that while Halo will make an appearance it won’t be the next entry in the franchise.

“We’ll have a little something at E3 but it’s not related to the next major entry in the franchise,” he said, further backing up comments Phil Spencer made that we wouldn’t be seeing a Halo first-person shooter in 2017.

However, while that might be disappointing for fans of the series waiting for the next game that fact that Halo will be there means it’s prime speculation material. We can only guess though, because so far there’s really been no other information about what they could be showing off. All we know is that Microsoft have promised to bring all their upcoming first-party games to PC in the future and that if it’s the sort of game to need it we’ll get splitscreen after it was removed from Halo 5.

Ah, the lead up to E3. So much speculation and rumour. It’s exciting.
