Who are the mystery Spartans?
Microsoft on Tuesday unveiled the final cover art for Halo 5: Guardians, which you can see above. The cover features two teams of unknown Spartans led by Master Chief and a new character named Locke.
Microsoft didn’t reveal much more about Halo 5, which goes on sale on Oct. 27. The game will be the third Halo installment from Kirkland-based and Microsoft-owned 343 Industries, which also developed Halo 4 and Halo: The Master Chief Collection after taking over the franchise from Bungie in 2007.
Last month, Microsoft posted two live-action trailers that revealed potential plot lines involving Master Chief and Locke.
Halo 5 will be exclusive to Xbox One, likely forcing Xbox 360 owners to upgrade to the latest Microsoft console. Microsoft started taking pre-orders for the game in December.
