The announcement comes just a few days after Halo 3 celebrated its 10th anniversary. Schell Games’ I Expect You To Die, previously released on Vive, Rift, and PlayStation VR, will also support the platform, as will media platforms like Hulu. Other titles already announced for Windows Mixed Reality include Ark Park, a spinoff of the smash-hit survival game Ark: Survival Evolved. With more than $6 billion in franchise grosses, Halo is one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time, spanning novels, graphic novels, comic books, short films, animated films, feature films, and other licensed products.“It’s a fun, brief introduction into the world of Halo,” Kipman said.Īs it’s a free title, we don’t expect too much from Halo: Recruit, but it should, at the very least, help show the potential for the series in a virtual reality or mixed reality environment. Its sequels expanded the franchise's commercial and critical success, and have sold more than 81 million copies worldwide.

Microsoft established 343 Industries to direct the franchise going forward, and has produced games itself and in partnership with other studios.Ĭombat Evolved was a critical and commercial success, serving as the Xbox's ' killer app' and cementing Microsoft as a major player in the video game console space. Bungie regained its independence in 2007, releasing additional Halo games through 2010. Combat Evolved started life as a real-time strategy game, then became a third-person shooter, and finally a first-person shooter releasing as an exclusive on Microsoft's new Xbox video game console after Bungie was acquired by the company.
