First Look at Halo Waypoint’s New Content and Career
Mode

On Nov. 5, fans around the world
will have a completely new way to access all things “Halo” with the launch of
Halo Waypoint, the new destination for the iconic franchise available
exclusively on Xbox LIVE.

Produced and developed by 343
Industries in collaboration with Certain Affinity, Halo Waypoint will offer a
diverse selection of unique and immersive content and bring together all the
goodness of the rich “Halo” universe in one place. It will inform fans of the
latest “Halo” news and activities, and grant access to content ranging from
interviews, trailers and screenshots, to exclusive video footage and community
content that you won’t find anywhere else.

Halo Waypoint will also provide a
new challenge for “Halo” gamers with a career system tied to in-game
accomplishments across multiple “Halo” games. At launch, career tracking will
include “Halo 3: ODST,” “Halo 3,” “Halo Wars” and all Game Add-on content for
those titles. Available exclusively on Xbox LIVE, Halo Waypoint will provide a
dynamic experience that will continue to grow and expand with new content
updated regularly.

Previews of the highly anticipated
anime anthology “Halo Legends,” will be available exclusively on Halo Waypoint
starting Nov. 7. “Halo Legends” is just one of the “Halo” exclusives that won’t
be found anywhere outside of Halo Waypoint.

Halo Waypoint will be accessible for
Xbox LIVE Silver members as a trial until Nov. 26. After that time, Halo
Waypoint will be available exclusively for Gold subscribers. For a content
