Microsoft plans to Celebrate 25 Years of Xbox and the Halo Seriesa period in which much has changed in the video game industry and in the division itself, including huge acquisitions such as Bethesda Softworks and Activision-Blizzard Kingand the embrace of a more open philosophy to multiplatform for the publishing of games. There are problems, but the machine moves forward and for the Xbox brand the future seems to be very different from the past.
Let’s party
That said, Microsoft is already working on a new Xbox, which will be different from the current one, is about to release many new games and, in the immediate future, has an event scheduled for Tokyo Game Show 2024. In short, it is as vital as ever and looks with optimism towards its twenty-fifth birthday, as explained in an interview with License Global by John Friend, head of consumer products at Xbox.
The original Xbox was launched on November 15, 2001.dragging Microsoft into an ultra-competitive and extremely difficult sector to compete with. Speaking about his area of expertise, Friend confirmed that the Halo series alone generated $1.8 billion in non-gaming consumer spending. We are therefore talking about merchandise sales.
Friend then touched on the anniversary issue: “We have these amazing franchises, ranging from World of Warcraft, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, to Halo, Call of Duty, StarCraft and so many more. We have plans for the 25th anniversary of Halo and Xbox. We have such a rich heritage and history, and these communities have been around for so long, that it’s worth celebrating.”
Too bad he didn’t reveal anything about what awaits us. At this point we are really curious to find out.
