The future of Xbox and its exclusives continues to be one of the most debated topics in recent months. After seeing how several important franchises have ended up reaching other platforms, many players assume that any Microsoft saga will sooner or later end up outside the Xbox ecosystem.

However, Jez Corden, Windows Central journalist and one of the best-known voices in the Xbox environment, believes that there will still be important exceptions. And one of them could be precisely Halo.

During a recent intervention, Corden said he was convinced that Microsoft will end up changing its position regarding the future of the saga. As he explained, he does not believe that the next big Halo main (the project that would arrive after Halo: Combat Evolved Campaign Remake) ends up being published on PlayStation.

The journalist went even further with a phrase that has quickly begun to circulate among the community:

“If I make a mistake, I shave my beard.”

Although Xbox currently maintains a much more open and multiplatform strategy, Corden believes that Halo It is still a franchise that is too important for Xbox’s identity to completely abandon exclusivity in its future main deliveries.

Microsoft has not officially confirmed what will happen with the future of Halo outside the Xbox ecosystem, toYes, everything continues to move in the realm of speculation. Even so, Jez Corden’s statements once again demonstrate that even within the Xbox community there are still doubts about how far Microsoft’s new strategy will really go.
