Halo 5 Release Date 2014: Xbox One Guardians Character Revealed [NEWS]

Halo 5: Guardians will feature new character Agent Locke, who will play a big part in the game, Movie Pilot reports.

Halo 5:Guardians will have a different Xbox One game engine from The Master Chief Collection, 343 Industries Franchise Director Frank O'Connor said during a recent interview.

"Not technically. It's a blend of legacy and some proprietary code. H5 is on a different schedule and couldn't be branched for this," he said when reassuring gamers it will not have the same game engine as its predecessor.

Halo 5: Guardians, which was scheduled to launch later in 2014, may have been delayed until the fourth quarter of 2015, Breathe Cast reports.

"The game is set to launch exclusively on the Xbox One platform and is being developed by the same makers of Halo 4. Fans were anticipating a release date sometime this year, but due to undisclosed production issues, it has in fact been pushed back," the website writes.

343 Industries is looking for a Senior Producer to help develop a new project line for Halo, sparking gossip there may be a possible Xbox One and Playstation 4 spin-off in the works.

The company posted the job listing late last month.

Halo 5: Guardians for the Xbox One will have features that are expected to blow the minds of fans, 343 Industries expert Bonnie Ross said during an interview.

"Certainly there are some core elements carried over from prior games, but we've invested a huge effort in retooling our tech to take full advantage of the Xbox One's hardware and ecosystem to create worlds and experiences worthy of next-gen," she said, according to Breathe Cast.

Halo 5: Guardian's PC release date may be delayed since developers are focusing on the game's Xbox One version, she also mentioned in an earlier interview.

"We're listening to the PC fans, but right now this is all focused on Xbox One," he said, according to the site.

"We are dedicated to bringing a full and fun experience to Halo: The Master Chief Collection on Xbox One, providing you with dedicated servers, a unified interface, increased visual fidelity, and gameplay running at 60fps."
