For those of you who have pre-ordered and haven’t yet seen, the Art of Halo 5 Guardians has been delayed to Oct 27 to coincide with the release of the game.
It’s likely that 343 didn’t want any of the ‘secrets’ of the game to come out before it was released, via this book.
For those who haven’t yet pre-ordered and are thinking about it, the book is available for pre-order from Amazon. If you do so now (as of this writing) you can save nearly $14 off the retail cost of the book, which runs at $45.
Thanks to Laird MacLean for posting this info on Facebook.

In case you either forgot or didn’t know about this, Halo Broken Circle is out today. I’ll be picking up my copy shortly. This will give me some reading material for a day or two to help tide me over until the Master Chief Collection. Continue reading
I’ve blogged about this before, however since the release date is so close and I got a reminder about this from another group, I wanted to blog about it again in case any of you had forgotten.
Halo: Broken Circle takes place centuries before our war with the Covenant. This time we see the Sangheili (Elites) and San ‘Shyuum (Prophets) facing off against one another. Before the start of the fateful Covenant itself. Continue reading

HFFL: I’m curious if this means new authors or some of the same authors just a different publishing house? I’m REALLY curious about though is what stories will be told. Will they continue from where Kilo-5 left off? Will it be stories from the UNSC Infinity? One thing’s for sure, it’s NEW Halo and I’m very happy about that.
