Halo again my friends, and welcome to another installment of your weekly look at the lore you love. Last week, we dropped some book-based bombs on the community, announcing our 2015 Halo print publishing lineup with the fabulous folks at Simon & Schuster.  While this edition might seem a bit “salad bar” to last week’s “Brazilian steakhouse,” we hope you’ll find it no less tasty. So join us as we shed a bit of light on recent regalia, clear up a little bit o’ Bias, and give you your first screenshot assignment.

Hunt the Truth!!

Posted on by

There has been a VERY interesting development, regarding Halo 5.Hunt the Truth screenWith the tag line of: What seems like the end, is only the beginning, could something ominous be afoot?

To wait (impatiently) like me for whatever this may be, check out the official website for this HERE.

Now of course 343 just HAD to do this when the Walking Dead is on….looks like I’ll be VERY busy Sunday night (my time).

canonfodder-3-12-15c-36af62b8ddb646a592466ac0e7fb87a3Welcome back loremongers. A few days ago, one of our community members, SaBx DARKHAVEN, started a topic in the Universe forum asking what the chances were that we’d see another book before the release of Halo 5: Guardians. After quelling the usual urge to post a popcorn-eating gif while reading through the discussion, I instead reached in my desk drawer and grabbed my trusty magic 8-ball to find an answer for the question at hand. The bad news? Ol’ Shaky spun up an initially depressing “outcome not likely.” The good news? That’s because you aren’t just getting one new book this year. You’re getting five. Before we get to a few delectable details, notice I said “this year” and not “before Halo 5: Guardians,” so don’t go telling Twitter that “Grim told us the release date.” Were it so easy… So with that out of the way, we’re proud to announce the Halo publishing lineup for 2015 from our friends and partners at Simon & Schuster! We’re pretty excited about it, and we hope you are too. Continue reading →
