Though Halo 5: Guardians isn’t releasing until next year, Microsoft is planning to tide gamers over this holiday season with a compilation of the past games in the series.
Halo: The Master Chief Collection will include Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3 and Halo 4 on a single package for the Xbox One. The compilation will include over 100 multiplayer maps from the previous games that can be mixed and matched in custom playlists. Halo 2 is also getting a new coat of paint for its 10th anniversary and will feature updated graphics that can be toggled on or off with the press of a button.
Buying the game will also provide access to the mutliplayer beta of Halo 5: Guardians, which launches this November. The compilation will also include a video project called Halo: Nightfall. Nightfall serves as a prequel to Halo 5 and is executive produced by Ridley Scott of Alien fame.
Halo: The Master Chief Collection launches on November 11.
