Update: When contacted for clarification, Downes stated to IGN that he didn’t intend to imply that he had any knowledge of Halo 2 Anniversary.
“What I said was: ‘I think you’re ahead of yourself on H5. I have read some things on line that you can look forward to a H2 anniversary edition maybe this year, but I have no official information one way or the other,'” Downes said. “I was just mentioning some of the things I had read online about Halo 2. I have no idea if there will be an anniversary edition and didn’t mean to leave that impression.”

Steve Downes, the voice actor for Halo’s Master Chief, has confirmed via twitter that Halo 5 will not release until 2015 and an anniversary edition of Halo 2 will launch this fall in its place. Downes said to Gamezone “I think you may be ahead of yourself on Halo 5, I wouldn’t expect anything until 2015. What you can look forward to this year is an anniversary edition of Halo 2.”
This follows rumors from a source on Reddit that Halo 5 would be delayed and Microsoft would release an special edition of Halo 2 to celebrate the game’s 10th anniversary. No word on an actual release date but Microsoft has stated that our “Halo journey will start this year.”
