Halo 3. Coming to an XBox 360 near you.
Halo 3 is an upcoming first-person shooter by Bungie Studios for the Xbox 360. It has been stated that Halo 3 will end the current story arc of the Halo trilogy. The final version of the game is due to be released on September 25, 2007 in the United States, Brazil, Canada, Australia, India, and Singapore; September 26, 2007 in Europe; and September 27, 2007 in Japan.
That means… most of us have only four days.
The Master Chief again returns as the main protagonist, with the Arbiter making several major appearances. When the game begins, Master Chief is back on Earth, where the Covenant loyalists (Brutes, Drones, and Jackals), led by the Prophet of Truth, have laid waste to most of the planet. Covenant ships are hovering over an excavation site a few miles from the ruins of New Mombasa and have uncovered a large artifact in this site, and Cortana is still the prisoner of Gravemind. The Arbiter, along with the Elites, Hunters, and some of the Grunts have split from the Covenant during the civil war at the end of Halo 2 and formed an alliance with the UNSC.
The game will not begin right where Halo 2 left off. Instead, the comic mini-series, Halo: Uprising, will bridge the story gap between the ending of Halo 2, and the beginning of Halo 3.
There will be three different versions of Halo 3 for retail sale: the Standard Edition, which contains the game disc and a manual; the Collector’s Edition, contained in a metal case, which contains the game disc, manual, interactive Xbox 360 bonus disc with several featurettes, and Beastiarum, which is a “hard cover, bound collection of information and art covering the species, cultures and civilizations of Halo 3.” according to Bungie; and the Legendary Edition, which contains the game disc, manual, interactive bonus disc, Beastiarum, Legendary DVD containing special content exclusive to the Legendary Edition, and a scale replica of the Master Chief’s Helmet as a case for the three discs.
At release, in addition to the various versions of the game, there will also be numerous Halo 3 branded accessories, including a green and orange Xbox 360 Premium console (with matching control pad) and Wireless headset (available separatly). Also available are two wireless control pads printed with either Spartan or Covenant characters. Prior to release, shops have been selling a Halo 3 branded Xbox Live 12 month subscription with 1 month free, to promote the online presence of the game which was a major selling point of Halo 2.
