A prequel to Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo: Reach characterizes one of the most cataclysmic events in the Halo universe - the destruction of the planet Reach.

 
Halo: Reach was announced by means of a teaser trailer at the end of a segment during Microsoft’s 2009 Electronic Entertainment Expo media briefing dedicated to 2009’s Halo 3: ODST. The brief trailer, not to mention the title, implies that the game will depict the destruction of the human colony world "Reach", a pivotal event in the history of the Halo franchise.

Overview

Halo: Reach is a project from Bungie Studios that will be a prequel to the original Halo: Combat Evolved. It will take place on the planet Reach, a human fortress world and the base of the Spartan-II program. The trailer shows the colony on Reach being attacked by Covenant battleships orbiting the planet.
 
Reach will be built on completely new technology, not reusing the Halo 3 engine like ODST did. In addition, Reach has been worked on since the completion of Halo 3 and, if released in 2010, will have a full three-year production cycle.
 
Halo: Reach will also be the last Halo game Bungie develops before working on a new, unannounced IP. Future Halo games will be developed by 343 Industries
 
Storywise, it is clear that the fall of Reach is the main focus, but no specifics are known, making anything stated at this point to be empty speculation. One of the more popular rumours implies that the game will focus on a squad of Spartan supersoldiers with each character fulfilling a specific role (sniper, heavy weapons, explosives expert, etc.). This is taken solely from the game's logo, which features the silhouettes of several decidedly differently-shaped armored figures. Others have interpreted this as meaning the game will be a multiplayer-only class-based shooter, shades of Team Fortress 2. As stated, however, until Bungie reveals the true nature of the game, anything put forward is simply a guess.

Multiplayer


Buyers of Halo 3: ODST will receive an invite to the Halo: Reach multiplayer Beta at a later date. The game will have its own unique multiplayer, separate from that of Halo 3. The Halo: Reach beta is set for early 2010.
