Microsoft announced the game at E3 2013 . The game and its related hardware grossed over in its first twenty-four hours and in its first week , outselling the opening sales of '' Halo 4 '' , which then held the best-selling record for the franchise . Despite this , it had the lowest opening sales of any '' Halo '' game in Japan and the UK . Upon release , '' Halo 5 '' received generally positive reviews from critics , with praise directed at its gameplay , visuals , level design and multiplayer modes . However , the game 's single-player campaign met divided responses , with criticism directed at its short length , story , writing and ending . A sequel , '' Halo Infinite '' , will be released in late 2020
