Why is it called Guardians?
Ross: At some point, we do want to stop numbering. Especially on Xbox One. If I had my druthers, we wouldn’t have called Halo 4 that – we really look at that game as the start of where he’s going. At some point we need to drop the number and still (let you) know you’ve got a big story coming.
So you could one day do “Halo: Whatever” and it wouldn’t be a Master Chief story?
Ross: It might still be a Master Chief story. I’m just saying, at some point we don’t want to be Halo 17, when Master Chief’s like 80. We’re not Final Fantasy, we can’t do it. So we kind of open that door – it doesn’t mean it’ll be a Master Chief story or not. That’s something for us to decide in the future.

So, instead of Halo 17 it would instead be Halo: Grandpa? I can dig it.
