343 Industries unveiled a few days ago Halo: Fireteam Raven, which is an awesome arcade cabinet develop by arcade moguls Raw Thrills and Play Mechanix together with 343 Industries.
Halo community manager Brian Jarrard revealed to Twitter that Fireteam Raven did not affect the team on 343 Industries that is hard at work on Halo 6. Jarrard made it clear that Fireteam Raven was made by Raw Thrills and Play Mechanix. 343 Industries was involved in the process, but actual work and development were done by the arcade companies.
PSA: Fireteam Raven has zero impact on the 343 development team which has already been working on the next console game. H:FR is built by an external arcade developer. Just like the Halo books or toys aren’t being created _instead of_ the next Halo game. Plenty to go around 😉

I get that ppl are just super eager for any info on the next “real” game, but I don’t get the blind outrage at a totally separate cool thing that a lot of ppl will enjoy 🤨 Hmm that makes me sound old.

Halo 5 was released three years ago, and Halo 4 and 5 also has a three-year gap, it looks like this year is the ideal time for Microsoft to start moving up some hype for Halo 6. E3 is coming up in a few weeks from now, which will be the best venue for Microsoft to announce the next Halo installment and I am so excited to hear that news. What do you think?
