With Halo 5 news quite slim in the coming months of the Electronic Expo, or E3, we might now have a huge leak on our hands, as Walmart has listed Halo on Xbox One to launch on October 1st, 2014.
All we currently know for sure of Halo on Xbox One is that it will be a continuation of Chief's journey, run at 60fps and 1080p resolution, and Halo Escalation #7 will somehow tie into Chief's journey in it. Now, according to Walmart.com themselves, Halo on Xbox One could be launching this fall on October 1st, 2014. Whether this is a pre-set date or an estimated date, we have yet to learn, but there are some peculiar things about it. October 1st is a Wednesday for starters, most games release on Tuesday or Friday, Wednesday would be an odd date to launch it off at. Next, it doesn't follow the November time-frame 343i uses, rather it looks to be lining up to compete in some way with Destiny, or even Arkham Knight, which releases that month. Another red flag is a pecular description, stating, "Halo 5, a Microsoft console exclusive, is a pre-release general shooter game to be released in December of 2014." so then what date is 343i aiming for? Could these be two different dates for different countries? As for right now, we don't know for certain, but it is a good tip-off.
Surprising info that could definitely be aimed to throw die-hard fans off guard and confuse them, so would you want a Halo 5 to release in October, following the launches of other big titles which could hinder it's sales?
