Halo 6 Is Still Coming, Even Though There’s That Weird Arcade in the Making

During the third episode of Inside Xbox, Microsoft has announced a new Arcade game based on the Halo franchise is currently in the making, and that has somehow disappointed players still waiting for a Halo 6, the sixth numbered title in the Halo series.

During the third episode of Inside Xbox, Microsoft has announced a new Arcade game based on the Halo franchise is currently in the making, and that has somehow disappointed players still waiting for a Halo 6, the sixth numbered title in the series.

Anyway, 343 Industries has been quick to point out that the making and the release of this game isn’t going to affect for any possible reason the work being done on the next iteration of the main series.

“Fireteam Raven has zero impact on the 343 development team which has already been working on the next console game. H:FR is built by an external arcade developer. Just like the Halo books or toys aren’t being created _instead of_ the next Halo game. Plenty to go around,” community manager Ske7ch said.

“I get that people are just super eager for any info on the next “real” game, but I don’t get the blind outrage at a totally separate cool thing that a lot of ppl will enjoy.”

Well, while I agree with Ske7ch, it’s also worth mentioning that the Inside Xbox Halo showcase was very disappointing. Not just for the Fireteam Raven thing, but especially because the developer is publicizing its commitment to the saga through The Master Chief Collection but no serious news came out of that, neither.

E3 2018 could be a good occasion for Microsoft to show they’re doing something more and more meaty.
