Bonnie Ross, General Manager of 343 Industries announced it today saying,

I'm happy to reveal that "Halo 5: Guardians," the next installment in the legendary saga of the Master Chief, will launch on Xbox One in fall of 2015. In the tradition of every "Halo" game since its debut in 2001, it is a massive and exciting project.

"Halo 5: Guardians" is a bigger effort than "Halo 4." That applies to the content and scope of the game, as well as the technology in what's now a brand new and more powerful engine. Certainly there are some core elements carried over from prior games, but we've invested a huge effort in retooling our tech to take full advantage of the Xbox One's hardware and ecosystem to create worlds and experiences worthy of next-gen.

It's a game that will hopefully demonstrate the talent, learnings and abilities of the 343 Industries team. A game that will incorporate the things we learned from "Halo 4" about technology, aesthetics, performance and scale – and perhaps more importantly, understanding and embracing a community of gamers who love what lies at the heart of this game, and the limitless potential of the "Halo" universe.

There's also a list of additional games on sale all week long (Nov 26 - Dec 2) at MajorNelson.com

According to March's NPD results, Titanfall is leading the way in software, but the PS4 is still beating out the Xbox One with 7 million units sold compared to Xbox One's 5 million.

This encouraging news, demonstrates a move by Microsoft that'll work to make the Xbox One experience, notably inclusive for all gamers.

He announced the departure via Twitter and added that he's "not yet ready to say what that new thing is… But OMG is writing code very [sic] day and exploring ideas fun!" His Twitter bio states his current project is "independent secret stuff."
