Halo: Reach is the next (and final chapter) of the current development studios Bungie, ending its reign over the Xbox 360 Halo franchise. Set in 2552 on the human planet Reach, you once again embrace the Spartan armor as Noble 6 and, together with Noble Squad, the player will have to defend their planet from the attack that is the Covenant. However, Halo: Reach will be a prequel to Bungie’s award-winning original. “Halo: Combat Evolved“play.

Originally designed to be an updated version of the Xbox 360 Halo franchise entry, Halo 3, which was a massive success despite issues some gamers had, the idea was scrapped, Bungie stated that they would rebuild and improve the quality of Halo 3 designs.

Going back to the concept designs for Halo: Combat Evolved, this effectively means that the new weapon, armor, and enemy designs in Halo: Reach will differ greatly from previous entries, but will retain the spirit of the franchise.

Hinting that Bungie won’t leave the Xbox 360 Halo franchise without a bang, the company is looking to dramatically increase the visual performance of all aspects of the game, right down to the weaponry. This clearly required Bungie to create an entirely new engine for Halo: Reach, with the AI ​​being improved and tweaked to provide better support for the player when encountering the Covenant.

So after all this talk about combining vastly improved graphics and improved artificial intelligence and designs, will Bungie put the Xbox 360 Halo franchise on top and maintain its reputation for creating the best FPS for the Xbox 360 console? The only way to be sure is to pick up a copy when it comes out later this year!
