/// 343 Will Have a ‘Little Something’ at E3, But It Won’t Be Halo 6!
343 Industries community manager Brian Jarrard on Reddit revealed the developer will “have a little something” at E3, however, it won’t be related to Halo 6.
“I’ll slip into my Dreamcrusher persona for a minute in the name of realistic expectations: We’ve said this already but we’ll have a little something at E3 but it’s not related to the next major entry in the franchise,” said Jarrard.
While there will be no Halo 6 at E3, there will likely be something Halo related. 2017 marks the 10 year anniversary of Halo 3. Microsoft remastered the first two Halo games on their 10 year anniversaries, so Halo 3 Anniversary is likely the game that will be shown at E3.
