Halo 5: Guardians news may be coming this weekend [Update]

Halo franchise boss Frank O’Connor has hinted at something big coming this weekend, and more hints keep coming.

Halo 5: Guardians is supposed to be releasing this year, so we can probably expect the hype cycle to kick off soon.

Maybe it’ll start this very weekend, in fact. A new Halo 5 teaser site has popped up, with a countdown pointing at something happening Sunday evening, US time.

There aren’t many clues on the site – there’s a bullet marked “traitor”, and it’s called “Hunt the Truth”. Is this something related to that image of Master Chief lying at the feet of an unidentified soldier? I couldn’t find anything interesting in the source code, alas.

It’s almost certainly a genuine, Microsoft-sanctioned site; O’Connor Tweeted about it.
