343 Hints That There Will Be No Halo 6 This Year
343 Industries has hinted that Halo 6 will not be arriving in 2018 - but there may be other releases that "surprise you".
On the 343 blog, a community manager wrote: "2018 has arrived and with it, the promise of new fun times to be had and adventures to be embarked upon. No, not those adventures
, but plenty of exciting ones regardless – some which might surprise you more than others."
Given the lead time between Halo game announcements and their release, this isn't necessarily surprising. For comparison, there was a more-than two year gap between Halo 5's first trailer and it coming out.

ABC on Futures of Agents of SHIELD, Once Upon a Time, and Inhumans
ABC's Channing Dungey thinks Agents of SHIELD and Once Upon a Time will return next season, but Inhumans' future isn't as hopeful.
According to Entertainment Weekly, during the Television Critics Association press tour, Dungey said she's "cautiously optimistic" about Agents of SHIELD and Once Upon a Time returning next season.
Inhumans, on the other hand, isn't looking good for a return.
"It didn’t perform for us at the level that we would’ve wanted," Dungey said.
ABC hasn't formally made any "official decision yet" on any shows getting picked up again in May, but Inhumans is averaging 4.1 million viewers, numbers Dungey said are "less exciting for us than we hoped they would be."
PS4 Holiday 2017 Console Sales Surpass 5.9 Million Units
Sony has announced more than 5.9 million PS4 consoles were sold through to consumers worldwide during the holiday 2017 season.
The company also announced that, as of December 31, 2017, total global sales of PlayStation 4 eclipsed 73.6 million units. PS4 console sales reached the 70.6 million unit mark in early December.
Additionally, over 55.9 million PS4 games were sold during the holiday season across the world in retail stores and digitally via PlayStation Store, making for a grand total of 645.0 million games sold since December 31. Sony also announced the number of PlayStation Plus subscribers have reached 31.5 million.
Chris Hemsworth on How Much the Infinity War Trailer Gives Away
The first trailer for Avengers: Infinity War amassed more than 230 million views in its first 24 hours online (and at least half of them came from us rewatching it in slow-mo to look for clues, if we're being honest), but while the footage is heavy on spectacle, it's noticeably light on plot details.
That's probably not surprising, especially looking back at the first trailer for Joe and Anthony Russo's Captain America: Civil War; blockbuster tentpoles increasingly rely on secrecy in their marketing to hype up audiences without risking spoilers, but you definitely get the sense that most of what we're seeing in the Infinity War trailer comes from the first two acts of the superhero team-up, before the battle against Thanos gets real.
