Halo 2 Anniversary might not actually be released this year

A brand new report has appeared online, this time claiming that Halo 5 for the Xbox One will launch this year, instead of the previously rumored Halo 2: Anniversary HD edition.

The Halo franchise is set to see the release of Halo 5 on the Xbox One in the future, but Microsoft has only released ambiguous statements about the first step in the Halo Xbox One journey starting in 2014.

This strategy, coupled with rumors about a Halo 2 Anniversary HD edition for the Xbox One, made it seem like the company is aiming to release Halo 5 next year.

Now, however, the Official Xbox Magazine has revealed its March cover issue and, besides details on Titanfall, it also promises that it has fresh info about Halo 5 and that "it's coming this year."

While OXM is expected to have deep ties with Microsoft, take this with a massive grain of salt, as it could just be a sensationalized article with nothing actually confirmed.
