With the recent release of Halo 4 (grossing over $300 million in the first week) people are already starting to ask about the remaining two games in the new series.

For all of you guys waiting to hear the news, the Seattle Times recently did an interview with Bonnie Ross (Head of 343 industries) and Frank O’Connor (Franchise Development Director) who revealed Halo 5 is now in development for the Xbox 720.

“We’ve done as much prototyping and storytelling and the future arc of the universe as we have on technology” says Frank O’Connor. “We definitely have a lot of smart people inside the studio and outside the studio thinking about future technology and future development for sure.”

The new trilogy, called the Reclaimer Trilogy, will hopefully get darker and grittier as it goes along, but don’t expect it out anytime soon: the Xbox 720 isn’t out until 2013/2014. What’s going to happen to the Master Chief next? Hopefully there will be more news soon!
