Microsoft is expected to make a news announcement surrounding Halo 5's release date for the Xbox 360, trailer and gameplay, Gameranx.com reports.

"Halo news will be coming at E3," Microsoft official Phil Spencer said a while back, according to the site.

However, Microsoft may not be preparing to release Halo 5 until November of 2015, TechSpot.com reports.

"It's not all bad news, however, as there should be plenty of other Halo goodies to hold fans over until then," the website writes.

"Within the span of a year, the source claims we will see five Halo games: Halo 2 Anniversary Edition for Xbox One on November 11, 2014, Halo 3 port for Xbox One, Halo 4 port for Xbox One and the aforementioned Halo 5."

Earlier this year, Microsoft was accused of paying YouTube users to promote and advertise the Xbox One-it left many fans wondering if the same will be done for upcoming Halo 5.

The company has yet to make an official announcement concerning the game's release date.
