## Transcript

[ MUSIC ] You know, last year at E3 my boss Bonnie Ross. Said. In 2014. Halo combat will truly evolve. And your journey with Halo on Xbox One begins. Our hardcore fans knew that something was up. They knew that this was the ten year anniversary of Halo 2 for example. When we had this discussion we said, wouldn't it be nice if we had all of the games. And the entire Master Chief story on one console. You know, the Xbox is now in its third iteration of hardware. And it's a lot to ask people to remember the story, let alone by, you know, a succession of three consoles over more than ten years. You can play the entire Master Chief Saga with Halo, The Master Chief Collection.

[ LAUGH ] I love you, too. We had a big challenge not just in putting all four games on one disk but making it a meaningful collection, you know Danny Hue, the executive producer was worried that you know, if we did a box set games people would buy it and maybe play their favorite game but not really use it. We wanted people to really engage with that so we came up with the idea with unified user interface. Okay, so the, the games ships on one disk. And the interface spans all the games and all the components. We created the concept of playlists, so basically they organize all your favorite bits of the game into logical sequences.

So if you just like driving the warthog, there will be a warthog playlist that just takes all the missions from all four games. And where you drove the war hog and when you played through this, one of our playlists is the Masters Chief Saga, and and it lets you start with Halo 1 and play all the way through to Halo 4 Complete with all the cinematics, there will be an achievement for doing that but I think the main achievement will be the player will have sat through 65 hours of. Of campaign game play if they're playing it normally. To find him. You have to forget the stories. You know we're adding a lot of content to the package.

We're adding a digital series that we're making in collaboration with Ridley Scott and director Sergio Mimica- Gezzan. Set in the Halo Universe, and it's kind of the origin story of a character who's gonna show up in Halo 5. Because the seeds of our future, are sown in it's past. The digital series in particular is really exciting. I just got back from filming in Belfast. That's not to be confused with the Stephen Spielberg TV series for 2015. That's gonna be bigger again, and a little more ambitious and we'll be excited to talk about that later in the year. But I, we're also launching the Halo Flag Multiplayer Beta this year.

Users will be playing but we're gonna be taking really serious feedback from consumers about what kind of Halo Multiplayer experience they want. So actually gives us a really good amount of time to properly digest that data. Properly digest those anecdotes and have feedback and implement it properly into the game.
