Halo 2: Anniversary involves PC subsequent week

The adventures of Master Chief will proceed in Halo 2: Anniversary subsequent Tuesday, May 12th, Microsoft have introduced. This time Master Chief (a reputation I nonetheless refuse to consider is actual, at the same time as characters say it) and Cortana (a reputation I nonetheless reuse to consider Microsoft reused for his or her voice-activated searchbot) are joined by a brand new ally, switching views for a part of the story. I’m weirdly hesitant to say extra. It may be a cool shock should you’ve not heard owt about Halo 2 over the previous 16 years?

Anniversary is the remastered version which launched on Xbox One in 2014. Now it’ll hit PC with further technological bells and whistles together with assist for 60fps, 4k decision, ultrawide resolutions, an FoV choice, and such.

Halo 2: Anniversary is coming May 12th to Steam and the Microsoft Store. I assume it’ll price £6 should you purchase it desperately, like Halo and Halo: Reach earlier than it. It’s additionally a part of the £30 Halo: The Master Chief Collection, which is able to develop to have most the sequence up to now – minus Halo 5. Or it’ll be accessible by Xbox Game Pass For PC, Microsoft’s £4/month subscription service which actually is probably the most inexpensive method to play any of their games.

Halo 2 has been on PC earlier than. It was one in every of Microsoft’s Windows Vista exclusives again after they had been half-arsing a dedication to PC gaming with loathsome rubbish like Games For Windows Live. Still, it was right here for some time. Halo 2 PC multiplayer shut down in 2013, after six years.

While Microsoft proceed to launch older Halos on PC, the new-new Halo Infinite is because of launch within the 2020 vacation season (November-ish). We’ve nonetheless not seen a lot of it, although I do count on one thing for Microsoft’s monthly stream in July.
