More details on “Halo 5: Guardians” will be revealed Monday night during HaloFest.

This will be the first installment since 2013’s “Halo: Spartan Assault,” a third-person shooter set in the timeframe between “Halo 3” and “Halo 4.” The title received mixed reviews. “Halo 4” launched for the Xbox 360 in 2012 and grossed $220 million on its launch day and $300 million during its opening week, setting a record for the Microsoft franchise.

“Halo 5: Guardians” was announced during E3 2013 as an untitled game; its release date and title were confirmed in May 2014 by 343 Industries studio head Bonnie Ross.

“ 'Halo’ isn’t simply a perennial game franchise, it’s a part of the Xbox platform itself. In terms of innovation and ideation, it’s sometimes important to people who might not even play ‘Halo,’ ” Ross said on the Xbox blog in May during the game’s announcement. “And of course it’s a passion and an essential experience for two generations of gamers. So we asked ourselves, how do we begin and where do we go with ‘Halo’ on Xbox One?”
