Halo Waypoint coming to Xbox Live on November 5th
It was recently announced via twitter that Halo Waypoint will be hitting Xbox Live on November 5th. Now before you get too excited, Halo Waypoint is not a new Halo game (I had you goin’ for a second, huh?).
Instead, Halo Waypoint is a service to be offered over Xbox Live to will include everything to do with the Halo universe; think podcasts, trailers, interviews and more. Additionally, Halo Waypoint will serve as the mode of delivery for the Halo Legends anime mini series that we heard about back in June.
Excited? No? Me neither.
Halo Legends shown off via video

Today, the internets are a buzz over the miniseries’ debut trailer, included above. As you can see, there are segments produced by all 5 Japanese studios that are signed onto the project.
But wait, during Casio Entertainment’s segment there are the beginnings of a CG swordfight. I don’t remember Master Chief moving so nimbly in the video games. Oh well, let’s hope Halo Legends does the franchise justice and isn’t just an attempt by Microsoft to milk the franchise.
