Xbox released a new video titled, "Xbox One Design "Show", which showcases the design and interface of the console. But that's not what got the Internet excited, at just under 1 minute the following appears:

Naturally we all thought that it was an indication of Halo 5 game content, sadly, 343 Industries responded by saying:

"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."

This is the video in question.

We can all get back to our lives now.

Earlier this week, industry insider, Ahsan Rasheed, hinted at Halo 5 being “more or less open world.” That will be a massive departure for the franchise from the linear gameplay of previous titles. A lot of gamers seem to favour open-world games and more and more devs change from linear to open-world. It was certainly the right move for the Far Cry franchise, but I am not sure I want Master Chief to follow in those footsteps.

What you prefer Halo 5 to be open-world?
