The biggest, most expansive campaign that we've ever told in series history. So for Halo 5 Guardians, we wanted to create something that would be really, really special, and allow players to have something that they could remember Halo 5 with. From an industrial design perspective we love to work on limited editions. They give us a chance to really connect with our fans. We work directly with 343 to understand the storyline, the environment, the characters, and the progression of the universe as the Halo 5 story unfolds. We start the custom console process with a lot of brain storming. For us it's how do we take this object which has to have actual function and tell a story through that piece of hardware. This limited edition has been designed to reflect Halo 5 down to the smallest details. You know we have this new breed of spartan ad so we really started exploring materials that make up that spartan for armor that make up things like the infinity. If we really wanted to start to bring sort of the smart technology in these identities all together into a piece that would still look sexy in the living room. The lore, the depth of the universe is something that fans care very very deeply about. And so we wanted to bring a lot of those little details into the design of the console and the controller. There's a high polish surface on the front of the console, and that was a really natural place for us to use the heck A pattern that you find in both Locke and Master Chief's visors. And also used some HUD inspired graphics over it. Brought in the blue coloring through the use of foil. We used that blue foil over the console and controller in numerous places because it reflects the light just right and kind of feels like the blue lighting that you find in the Halo universe. The controller that comes embedded with the console. Is a beautiful Halo universe controller tying in the themes from locks armour suit and his key colors. We think very deliberately about planting some of the stories seed because we want them to be able to discover them and have the satisfaction of figuring out what they are. If you're looking for more master chief we've designed a controller that's inspired directly by a master chief. It has the nice green tones of Chief's armor. It takes some specific styling from his armor suit, and the triggers are a nice gold just like his visor. Master Chief has a Braille marking on his armor, and we put that on the back of the controller. So you can actually feel Master Chief's emblem. Really excited about partnering with Astro to bring a special Halo 5 guardian headset. It's this cohesive experience that players can immerse themselves in. The limited edition console for Halo 5 guardians comes On October 20th and it includes game on demand cards so that you can download the game and play it on October when it goes live. Our limited editions are authentic. We design them as if they are a piece of the game that fell straight into your living room. And they become collector's items. So you'll love them today, you'll love them in ten years, you'll love them in 15 years and you'll remember the stories around them.
