Halo, one of the most successful gaming franchises that we have ever had the pleasure to play. And on November the 6th the start of the brand new Halo trilogy, which will still feature Master Chief as the main character. Although it is Halo 4, it will not be created by the same company that created the first trilogy. Bungie (the company that made the first trilogy) have now joined Activision, who are responsable for creating Call Of Duty games. So because Bungie are now a part of Activision they were no longer allowed to be a part of the Halo franchise, which is a catastrophic error, because they have lost out on one of the biggest grossing game franchises ever!
Even though Halo is one of the most popular games on Xbox, when it is released in November it will have fierce competition. Supposedly the new Grand Theft Auto will be released nearer the end of October, and Assassins Creed 3, and also Resident Evil 6. The Halo franchise has sold over 40 million copies the world over, and the next three Halo games (4,5, and 6) will all be released within the next decade. Halo 4 is set four years after Master Chief famously cryogenically froze himself in space, and the Chief will apparently "confront his destiny and face an ancient evil".
Within the trailer of Halo 4, there has been much discussion of "taking their time" with this game, to make it the best they possibly can. If you Click here you will be able to see the trailer, and information directly from the employees from 343 studios. I personally cannot wait for this game! I am a huge fan of the series and have had all of the games that have been released. The only thing I am having slight doubts about, is the change in company, will it be to big of a change? Will the elements of Halo that we know and love no longer be there? Well in November we shall find out.
