Nyland would sadly only return once more to the series following his initial two works, but Ghosts of Onyx is quite the sendoff. While his first two novels focused on Master Chief's birth as a Spartan and his trip home following the events of Combat Evolved , Ghosts of Onyx shifts away from John-117 and focuses on the Spartan-III program. When John's wave of Spartan soldiers was mostly declared missing in action, the UNSC replaced them with a new program that recruited minors orphaned by the ongoing war. Onyx covers the beginnings of that program and the discovery of a Forerunner artifact that would narratively help bridge the gap between Bungie's work on Halo __ and the story 343 Industries wanted to tell. All three books feature throughlines and story beats that serve as the backbone for every future story told in Halo 's unive

We've never seen an open-world Halo game, aside from the massively multiplayer online role-playing game that was canceled in 2007. An open-world game could work for the series. Warzone from Halo 5: Guardians is set on large maps. The trend seems to be heading towards more massive maps for Halo ga

Now, Killer Instinct 's free version only includes one fighter, although all the modes are available. If someone really wants to experience the game, Infinity Nikki Collectibles they will either need to buy the definitive edition or play it through Game Pass. Still, the free iteration serves as a good introduction to Killer Instinct 's offerings and combo-driven mechanics, all the while including enough content for newcomers to properly judge whether they want to try the full pack

The largest crowd-funded game to ever exist, and it's still not out. Star Citizen is one of those games that looks phenomenal and you can't wait to play it, but you're not sure how to actually start playing it or even if it's released

The recent gameplay trailer for Halo Infinite features the Banished talking about Atriox, the rebellious Jiralhanae warrior who inspired the movement which eventually led to their rise as a separate fact

Halo Infinite is shaping up to be one of the biggest releases of 2020. With an abundance of news surrounding the game, it can be challenging to separate fact from falsehood. With 343 Industries at the helm of the project, we can be assured the IP is in good ha

According to thurrott.com, "it's easier to build a single player game than a multiplayer shooter; thus, the single player arrives, they look for potential issues, then release the multiplayer portion of the game." Brad Sams from thurrott.com is suggesting that it's possible Halo Infinite will only be single-player at launch. Since the game is swiftly approaching, 343 Industries might release the campaign first, then the online multiplayer later. Red Dead Redemption 2 is another example of a game that released its single-player campaign fi

With Buck showing back up on Fireteam Osiris in Halo 5: Guardians and likely returning to future games due to his fan-favorite status, these stories also provide great context that's missing from the game's main plot. Buck tries to be a voice of reason to Spartan Locke in Halo 5 due to his years of experience, and players who have seen him struggle with his own band of brothers feel it even harder when the foolhardy leader of the team disregards his suggestions. Bad Blood is an excellent side story that hopefully allows the characters from ODST __ to reemerge in the games at some point in the fut

The Banished re-purpose Covenant assets to use in their own campaign, painting and modifying them to match their official colors. They have also been known to acquire and use Forerunner technology as w

These people like to operate outside the norm. They enjoy pushing the boundaries of all types of conventions, and they love to experiment. In the game world, they might like games that are more "out there" or a bit unus

Players of the well-received Halo 3: ODST __ got to explore the city of New Mombasa through a very different visor. The four Orbital Drop Shock Troopers players meet throughout ODST don't show up in future games, but their story does pick up in a pair of novels written by Matt Forbeck. Starting with a short tome called Halo: New Blood and continuing with a full sequel titled Halo: Bad Blood , Buck, Dutch, Romeo, and Mickey continue to find their way in a changing UNSC. Dealing with feelings of disillusionment once fighting shifts from aliens to rebel factions, the story also explores the unseemly aspects of the UNSC and other Earth governmental bodies in this unive

One of Atriox's guiding principles is his insistence that members join of their own free will, rather than be subjugated. He demonstrated this by killing a Covenant scientist named Sig Raan, who was working on a mind-control device that could have been used to indoctrinate new follow

This can happen to any game, even if it receives good praise during its announcement or presentation. Or, sometimes it can be the result of negative fanfare or development getting abandoned in favor of newer or other projects with a higher priority. Check out the list below to see some of the games that were announced ages ago and are still coming, hopefu
