![]() ![]() Catherine Elizabeth Halsey, a scientist for the UNSC and creator of the Spartan project of which Master Chief is a part of. Other notable cast members include Natascha McElhone ( Designated Survivor) as Dr. This is obviously due to the fact that Downes is not a screen actor, instead the mantle has been taken up by Pablo Schreiber( Orange is the New Black). While we will see Jen Taylor reprising her in-game character of Cortana, the main character, Master Chief (or more specifically Master Chief Petty Officer John-117), will not be played by Steve Downes who voices the character in the games. Taylor has voiced the character for the games since the first game Halo:Combat Evolved in 2001 up until the most recently released game Halo: Infinite in 2021. We would like to point out, if you didn’t recognize the signature voice, that we love that Cortana, Master Chief’s AI partner in the war against the Covenant (in the games) is being voiced by Jen Taylor. It is likely from what we have seen so far that this will be a similar theme in the show, however we don’t want to speculate too much as we know the show will be taking a leap away from the game itself. Within the games the Halo rings are huge weaponized structures to eradicate sentient life, believed by the Covenant to be religious relics which can allow them to transcend. The Covenant is an alien race who in the games and apparently the series come into conflict with the humans over the Halo rings. The Covenant is also a big part of the Halo games, and the threat we see in the trailer. It seems from the trailer that there is going to be some discourse between the UNSC and Master Chief, who is the perfect soldier due to his ability to be “controlled”, this is something that we might see change. Finally, in 2014 a higher production series was made to launch alongside the Master Chief Collection on Xbox One, which is still available to buy and rent on the Xbox store.įrom the trailer (and confirmed by the cast list) it appears that much like the games we also have a United Nations Space Command, who work on behalf of the human race to colonize planets and use genetically engineered “Spartans” (a group which Master Chief leads) to protect humanity. Netflix hosted a web series of 15-minute episodes called Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn in 2012, which has since been removed and is hard to find online. In 2007, a series of three short films directed by Neill Blomkamp ( District 9) under the name Halo: Landfall were released to promote Halo 3. This isn’t the first live-action adaption of the game franchise, albeit having by far the biggest budget. The development of a TV series based on the insanely popular Xbox game series Halo was first announced back in 2013 and has been in development ever since, however, the potential for creating small screen action has never been overlooked. So what can we expect from Kyle Killen ( Lone Star) and Steven Kane’s ( The Last Ship) Halo, set to be released on Paramount+? We’ve seen series such as Arcane(2021) and films including Tomb Raider (2018) achieve pretty great reviews across the board, but there have also been numerous busts: Warcraft (2016), Silent Hill (2006), and dare we even mention the 1995 production of Mortal Kombat? It is fair to say a series based on one of the most popular video game franchises of all time has a pretty big weight on its shoulders. Halo Infiniteis currently available on Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X it’s also part of Xbox and PC Game Pass.Adapting video games to TV and film is a risky business, they can flop, or they can fly. ![]() The cosmetic has since renamed to “Freedom”. “While the original name refers to an internal toolset, it was not intended to be applied to this content and we recognize the harm it may have caused.” “We strive to create diverse and inclusive gaming communities,” he wrote.

When initially released, the Juneteenth cosmetic was named “Bonobo,” which is also the name of an endangered ape. The developer has also changed the name accordingly.
