343 Says That Halo 5 Will Have Epic "Scope and Scale and Drama"

Halo 5 will also make you question everything you think you know about the Halo universe, Bonnie Ross says.

After the release of the two new Halo 5: Guardians trailers and the confirmed October 27 release date, Microsoft is now offering even more information about the game by way of a new statement from 343 Industries studio head Bonnie Ross.

In it, Ross hypes Halo 5 by saying it will deliver epic "scope and scale and drama," while also teasing that the game will make players question everything they think they know about the Halo universe.

“We wanted Halo 5: Guardians to be the game that pays off the epic promise of the Halo universe in scope and scale and drama," Ross said. “We want to amaze players with the sheer size of the worlds and battles they’ll experience, even as they question everything they thought they knew about its heroes, marvels, and mysteries."

It has been confirmed that Agent Locke would be a playable character in Halo 5, and that Cortana will make an appearance in the game. Halo 5 is in development at 343 Industries exclusively for Xbox One.
