Xbox is surely not getting Halo: Fireteam Raven

The new Halo game for arcades, Halo: Fireteam Raven, is not going to come to Xbox if we are to believe the latest Halo weekly blog post. The post says that developer 343 Industries confirmed that it has no plans to bring Fireteam Raven to Xbox or any other systems.

The game was developed by arcade game companies Raw Thrills and Play Mechanix so you can guess why the game is "exclusive" to arcades. The game will be available in Dave & Buster's locations in the United States later this year, with availability in other parts of the world coming sometime later.

In the post, 343 said Fireteam Raven is a "unique arcade experience" that makes uses of a giant custom-made cabinet with a 130-inch 4K screen and four mounted machine guns. Of course, no one is going to burn their pockets to get those fixed!

343 confirmed that the story is linked with Halo: Combat Evolved. This arcade game puts you in the shoes of ODST troopers that make up Fireteam Raven. While you don't play as Master Chief, you're at least battling his enemies, the Covenant forces.

343 also said that Fireteam Raven is not taking away resources from Halo 6. While Halo 6 has yet to be officially announced, it is known that it is in the works and some details about it have emerged from the darkness. For example, it's been confirmed that the new Halo game will feature split-screen multiplayer support and will be free for Xbox Game Pass subscribers. Maybe it will be announced at E3?
