Halo 5: Guardians's Initial release date confirmed in October, More Trailers Unveiled

A great exciting news for all Halo lovers. The new release of Halo 5: Guardians is focused on the Hunt for the Truth.

The release of Halo 5: Guardians is going to be on OCTOBER 27, 2015. The site has released a series of audio recordings talking about the story behind the Master Chief.

The third episode in the campaign's audio log series, conducted by fictional journalist Benjamin Giraud, has been released. It's titled "Critical Condition," and centers around the mystery of John 117 and his home planet. The log explores a different side of the Master Chief, as detailed by conversations with retired members of the military, and if the recently released live-action teaser is any indication, Agent Locke has a bone to pick over some of the events that transpired in the Spartan's cloudy past.

Here is a summary of what we've learnt from Master Chief's return:

The trailer for the game started with a man wearing a hood, and walking in the middle of a stormy desert, then he gets surprised by a massive machine rising from the bottom of the ground.

While the machine is rising towards the sky, the hooded man takes out a dog tag with a crystal chip and inspects it. Then the wind blows the person's hood off his head to reveal the Master Chief (aka John 117).


A leaked story synopsis said that Chief would face "a new battery of challenges and tests in a Herculean effort to stay alive in a galaxy where sentient life is mercilessly hunted." Microsoft denied that these details are official, though. The information was generic enough that it really didn't matter whether it was real or fake.

In case you think that someone else is wearing Master Chief's armor, Microsoft Studios head Phil Spencer confirmed in a post-E3 interview that the game stars John-117.

The main idea about the new Halo 5: Guardians game is about literally hunting for the truth of whether Master Chief is a traitor or not. Users are encouraged to search the internet and search for the clues about the game, it's stories, missions, characters and more.

The campaign shows two trailer videos on their official website:

Agent Locke's Perspective:

• One is showing the story from the perspective of Agent Locke trying to look for Master Chief after he has gone missing during the Armada, which made the UNSC suspicious about his disappearance. Locke wants to take him down in order to gain justice after he suspects that he caused the sudden attack of the Colony worlds and led to a total destruction.

Master Chief's Perspective:

• Another video shows the story from Master Chief's perspective as he seeks the truth when he finally meets Agent Locke under Master Chief's statue. He believes Locke was the traitor and says, "Is this what you wanted? Is this what you were looking for? Was everything you've compromised, everything you've done, worth it?!" He follows this with, "You've completed your mission Spartan Locke!" He points the gun at Locke's head says," Mine is just beginning."
