Master Chief becomes the focus again as Halo 4 begins The Reclaimer Trilogy
First details appear on Halo 4
343 Industries has begun to talk a bit more about their work on their first entry in the Halo series.
Halo 4 will see the Master Chief return in the first episode of a new trilogy 343 has dubbed The Reclaimer Trilogy.
The game's creative director, Josh Holmes elaborated: "It plays like Halo. It sounds simple but that was really important to us. As a team we were brought together by this love for this universe and this play experience, and we wanted to maintain the core of that magical Halo feel. But at the same time, it was important for us to have the courage to take risks and evolve the gameplay feel so it is fresh and different. It's this constant question of balance for us we've wrestled with since the beginning as a team."
He continued: "How do we maintain both what is the core of Halo, making sure it feels like Halo, while at the same time adding new weapons, new abilities, new experiences you've never had before in a Halo game? But at its core it does feel very much like Halo. It was important to us to maintain that commitment to the sandbox nature of Halo gameplay, making sure we're empowering players to make choices in how they approach each problem instead of giving them only one solution. That was one of the things we held at the core of everything we did."
Halo 4 is due for release some time next year.
