UPDATE: Bravo stopped by our forums to comment on the recent Halo 5 image:

“As most (all?) of you expected, the Xbox One dash images shown in this video were placeholder and not indicative of future game content”. – Bravo

Along with that, this was posted on the Halo Waypoint forums:

“The Xbox One dashboard images shown in the recently released “Xbox One Design Show” video, were placeholder and not indicative of future game content. As previously stated, your next ‘Halo’ journey will begin in 2014, and we’ll have more detail to share at E3 in June.” – Forum Team

Could it be possible that Xbox are finally giving up on the Halo Xbox One name and simply calling it Halo 5?

In a recent video released by Xbox, the user can be seen looking at the Xbox One friends app and on the activity feed, it claims one of his friends is playing “Halo 5 – Infinity Slayer on Haven” at the 50 second mark.

While it is pretty obvious that the text is a placeholder, the fact that in videos, Microsoft have started to use the name “Halo 5” rather than “Halo Xbox One” confirms what we’ve been waiting to hear about for months.

With Halo 2: Anniversary expected to be announced at E3 2014, releasing on November 11th, many are expecting a new teaser for Halo 5 to be shown, similar to E3 2011 for Halo: Anniversary and Halo 4.
