Halo fans, this one is for you. Microsoft and 343 Studios just released some screenshots and art for Halo 4. Little was known about this title until now.
The game takes place almost five years after the events of Halo 3. This title stars Master Chief while he returns to confront his destiny and face an ancient evil that threatens the fate of the entire universe. In addition to a whole new story and campaign, “Halo 4” introduces a new multiplayer offering, called “Halo Infinity Multiplayer,” that builds off of the “Halo” franchise’s multiplayer history and promises to continue to innovate and redefine the way people think about storytelling and multiplayer experiences.
The hub of the “Halo 4” multiplayer experience is the UNSC Infinity – the largest starship in the UNSC fleet that serves as the center of your Spartan career. Here you’ll build your custom Spartan-IV supersoldier, and progress your multiplayer career across all “Halo 4” competitive and cooperative game modes. Surrounded by the sights, sounds and crew of the biggest vessel in the UNSC fleet, your multiplayer experience will be embedded in the fiction of “Halo” like never before, where your progress and game choices affect your appearance, arsenal, and role on the battlefield.
The new multiplayer experience promises to be just as immersive as when Bungie controlled the franchise. Hopefully it lives up to the hype.
