Master Chief voice actor talks about future Halo releases

by Nick Dowell

UPDATE:  In an interview with IGN, Downes said that he did not confirm the release of a Halo 2 anniversary edition and did not mean to imply as such.

"What I said was: 'I think you're ahead of yourself on H5. I have read some things on line that you can look forward to a H2 anniversary edition maybe this year, but I have no official information one way or the other. I was just mentioning some of the things I had read online about Halo 2. I have no idea if there will be an anniversary edition and didn't mean to leave that impression."

According to Steve Downes, the voice actor for Master Chief in the Halo franchise, fans of the series can expect a Halo 2 anniversary edition to launch this year as a celebration of the game's tenth anniversary. Downs also mentioned that Halo 5 won't be released until sometime in 2015.

In an interview with Gamezone, Downes said: "I think you may be ahead of yourself on Halo 5. I wouldn't expect anything until 2015. What you can look forward to this year is an anniversary edition of Halo 2."

Microsoft later teased to Polygon something to come in 2014.

"We can confirm your next Halo journey will begin in 2014, but beyond that we don't have any details to share at this time," said a Microsoft spokesperson.
