The future of Bungie’s license isn’t just being written in the studios of 343 Industries. If Halo: Infinite took over on PC and on Microsoft’s home consoles, the franchise will expand through a television series produced by Paramount. As we get closer to the broadcast date, we learn a little more regarding the big surprises that the showrunners have in store for us.
At the very end of last January, Paramount released an action-packed trailer for one of the most anticipated series for video game fans. In addition to this excerpt, release date was finally revealed, but the good launch of the series might have been compromised due to a dispute between the composers of the original soundtrack of the saga and the Redmond firm. Still, the future of the series does not seem to have been turned upside down and we will be entitled to the series in the coming weeks.
Reassuring news to which is added another, even more pleasing: the series will benefit from a broadcaster in France and this one is none other than Canal+.

Master Chief drops the mask
On the one hand, the mysteries that surround the series are gradually dissipating: moreover, if you want to know everything regarding the series on the sidelines of its broadcast, we have concocted you an article that makes the point. On the other, we still wonder regarding the different twists that will punctuate the series and the many mysteries that it might explore. Among them, there is a size because more than one player has wondered regarding the man hiding behind the armor of Master Chief.
According to Kiki Wolfkill, executive producer of Halo and also head of the Transmedia branch of 343 Industries, the series will mark a great first in the history of the franchise since we will finally discover the face of Master Chiefan important point in history that the teams want to share with this series.
I think we decided to tell a story of a character and a personal story (…) Once we really immersed ourselves in this story, it became obvious that you really had to see the person in the armor and under the helmet.
You will see his face (…) For some people it is a moment that has been in the making for 20 years, and for others it is something that seems very difficult to imagine. We absolutely respect both sides, those who really want to see Master Chief’s face and those who don’t. But for the essence of this story, we felt it was very important to connect with the Master Chief in a different way, and that meant showing the face.
Such a declaration risks arousing even more expectation and impatience around the series! Especially since, until now, players have had little clue as to the appearance of the famous Spartan John-117: a glimpse of the back of his head or the rendering of his eyes here and there, but that’s it! Even if we already know the actor who plays him, the revelation and the scene that accompanies it will have a great impact in the history of the franchise, no doubt regarding it!
