Halo 2: Anniversary, the next part of the Master Chief Collection, is already out next week, namely on May 13, 2020, for Steam and the Xbox Game Pass for PC. This surprising announcement came via Twitter after the recent silence about the next part of the Master Chief Collection.

What does Ninja have to do with Halo 2?
Ninja is not only an extremely well-known streamer, but was also a professional e-athlete who mainly played Halo 3. Today he is best known for his activities in Fortnite. He signed an exclusive contract with the Mixer streaming platform last year, which brought him new record subscription numbers.
Yesterday Ninja tweeted that he was going through old photos and wanted something nostalgic to play with. A day later, Halo 2 was officially announced, marking it directly. It may be one little publicity stunt – presumably Ninja will also stream for the Halo 2: Anniversary release.
