No Halo 6 in 2017 was pretty much a given, as MS and 343 had stuck pretty heavily to a three-year dev cycle and not putting more than one big Halo game a year.

Personally, we're all of less than a month into 2017 but I've got all the games I'm likely to pay for already thanks to the end-of-year sale; I picked up Minecraft: Story Mode, the Witcher 3, The Escapists, and Catherine, and I've got Halo Wars DE alongside Halo Wars 2 when it comes out. Plus I'll still be playing Halo 5, and a good half to two-thirds of the Games with Gold titles are stuff I play and enjoy, so that's another 12+ games I could be playing.

I am looking forward to Voodoo Vince Remastered, but I probably won't be picking that up day one.
