In a recent post on their Facebook wall, Xbox Australia seems to have confirmed what we all are expecting – that Halo Xbox One will indeed be called Halo 5.

Halo 5 Name Confirmed?

UPDATE: A Microsoft representative has told GameSpot, “This post was made in error, and we will be updating it shortly. We have made no announcements regarding the name of Halo on Xbox One. As we have stated previously, the award-winning franchise continues on Xbox One, beginning in 2014. We have no further details to share at this time.”

While we were all expecting this, and it was made pretty evident by the leak from Axis Animation a few months ago, Xbox Australia did offer this short description:

“The Prometheans and Covenant just won’t give John-117 a break! Master Chief returns for the thrilling continuation of the Reclaimer Saga in Halo 5”

So, it looks like both the Covenant and the Prometheans will be returning in Halo 5, which is to release sometime in 2014.
