Halo 5’s ‘new epic multiplayer experience’ to be revealed at E3

343 Industries has some big things planned for Halo 5: Guardians' multiplayer, and I'm not just referring to the 20 maps that'll be available at launch or the 15 additional free downloadable maps that'll release by June 2016. No, instead, I'm talking about a brand new multiplayer mode that "promises to unite everything fans love about Halo," according to Game Informer.

In this month's issue, which features a ton of information about the highly anticipated Xbox game, design director Kevin Franklin teased part of 343 Industries E3 2015 plans.

"We also have a complementary new epic multiplayer experience which we're really excited to show off at E3," Franklin revealed. "I can't say too much about it, but I can tell you it does incorporate all aspects of the Halo sandbox for the very first time ever."

"This was always a dream of ours and all of our fans to build something like this," Franklin continued. "It's been three years of long development and an incredible amount of play testing. We can't wait to show it off."

Microsoft's E3 press conference is less than a week away, taking place on Monday, June 15, at 9:30am PDT.
