In other news, it was recently announced that the Halo TV series will reveal Master Chief’s face, which is a big change from the games in which his face hidden under a helmet at all times. The TV show and the games have different canon, so this doesn’t mean the games will change course and show Chief’s face.
“You will see his face,” Halo transmedia boss Kiki Wolfkill said of the TV series. “For some people, it’s been a moment 20 years in the making, and for other people it is something that feels very hard to imagine. We absolutely respect both sides of that fence, those who really want to see Chief’s face and those who really don’t. But for the nature of this story, it felt really important to connect with the Master Chief in a different way, and that meant showing the face.”
Paramount+ apparently has a lot of faith in and excitement for the Halo series, as it’s already announced Season 2. As for the games, Halo Infinite’s mid-season update is coming this week with changes for multiplayer and campaign alike.
