We all know that John’s journey will MOST likely end with Halo 6. And with this, I see potential for Halo to truly show what it’s campaign is capable of. Because to be honest, the current characters in the series, especially our protagonists, can block out the rich universe within the franchise, as these characters were forged for the purpose for having some role in saving the galaxy from a big threat rather than being interesting.
So after H6, we have a new start. I think instead of saving location/group y from evil being(s) x again and again like every other game out there. I think halo should start focusing on exploring and discovering new and alien cultures, and some of the conflicts that can arise from those encounters. It would be something new and interesting and just opens so many possibilities. What do you guys think?
I would not mind exploring the universe, or at the very least the rest of the galaxy, after the Reclaimer Saga. That’s probably more of niche for the books to fill though.

But wouldn’t it still be likely to end up saving something in the end, either one or the other way?
I mean you need a reason to justify why you are shooting and fighting your way through the story and when you play as the “good guys” then this reason is nearly everytime that you want or have to save/defend anything, except you change the sides and start to wipe out.
The First Person Games should stop after the Reclaimer saga. But the Universe could still be explored by Novels, Comics, Tv series, Movies and other Video Game genres(Rts,Open World)
There probably won’t be Halo games after Halo 6, that’s a long run for a franchise (besides Halo 5 still has to do well for Microsoft to invest in the idea).
