An alleged Microsoft insider has revealed what the future holds for Xbox One, listing a range of upcoming titles for the console and when they're scheduled to release.
The report comes from the same source on NeoGAF that claimed the company was looking into releasing a number of new Xbox One consoles, including a limited edition Titanfall model and the white employee-only version.
Please note that none of the below statements have been confirmed by Microsoft. IGN has reached out to try and verify what we can, but until then do not take any of the below as fact.
The source claims that Halo 2 Anniversary is in the works for Xbox One and will be released on November 11 this year in two special editions. The first will be a standard Collector's Edition that comes with beta access to Halo 5 and a Halo TV series (not the one rumoured to be directed by Neill Blomkamp). The second is a War Collection, which supposedly comes with everything from the Collector's Edition as well as Xbox One ports of Halo 3 and Halo 4.
Elsewhere, the source claims that we're unlikely to see anything of Crackdown 3 this year but it's on the way, scheduled for release in 2016. A new Forza Horizon is meant to come autumn of this year, along with Sunset Overdrive, while Quantum Break will be out at Christmas.
2015 will allegedly see Fable Legends in summer and also the release of Halo 5 following beta in November 2014 (this is interesting, as last we heard Halo 5 was still on track for release this year). The insider also revealed that Black Tusk Studios will probably need two and a half years to produce a new Gears of War game, and the team's cancelled project was supposedly called "Shangheist". Titanfall DLC is meant to be coming 45 days after release, then another batch 120 days after release.
We're working to verify all of this with Microsoft as fast as we can and will update the story as soon as we know more. The poster has been verified by NeoGAF but, even so, that doesn't mean the information he is giving is accurate. Take it all with a massive pinch of salt for now.

Halo 2 Anniversary hits Xbox One in November - rumour
CVG sources back up NeoGAF report

An Xbox One version of Halo 2 is happening, according to reports, and you'll get to grips with it this November. Load the glitter cannons!
The story comes care of the same NeoGAF user behind this morning's (unconfirmed) Titanfall Xbox One console leak - one of CVG's sources says it's right on the money. The game's launch is timed to coincide with the original's tenth birthday, apparently.
Microsoft has already, of course, put together an Anniversary edition of Halo: Combat Evolved for Xbox 360, so there's a solid precedent. Microsoft Studios boss Phil Spencer has also admitted to holding "discussions" about an Anniversary sequel, though he downplayed talk of a 2014 release.
"The Halo Anniversary that we did was as much about the launch of the first Xbox as well. It was a culmination of many things coming together," Spencer observed last year. "It would probably run out of steam if we were trying to think about, 'Okay, what's 10 years old now?'
"It's definitely more from the game itself, the experience that we're able to bring to market. Less about 'Is the last digit a zero?' in terms of its anniversary."
According to CVG, Halo Anniversary 2 is being developed by the same studios who created Anniversary - 343 Industries, Saber Interactive and Certain Affinity. The latter revealed in May that it had at least two unannounced AAA games in the works, though neither sounds particularly like Halo. 343 also has at least one thing on the way that isn't Halo Xbox One or the Halo TV show.
The NeoGAF poster claims that the game will ship with a beta key for the untitled fifth Halo game, announced for Xbox One at E3 last year. We'll go scream hysterically at Microsoft till somebody tells us that they don't comment on rumour and speculation.

Screw Halo 5, Halo 2 Anniversary would be the best thing ever. I just hope that it won't be rushed like CE Anniversary was (Reach models, cheap animations and bugs). I would be very pissed if they use the new Master Chief armor for it.
But seriously though, if they could do it with Unreal Engine 4 or something and also recreate the multiplayer from Halo 2, it would make my decade.

Not trying to market my own stuff to the limit or something, but I made my own custom box art/game cover for Halo 2 Anniversary, just wondering if you care or if I could get some feedback to improve my own skills. Any thoughts? :whistle:
