Microsoft has announced that Halo Waypoint, the new virtual destination for all things Halo is now available on Xbox LIVE.
Halo Waypoint promises to bring all the richness of the Halo universe together in one place and will feature daily updates of fresh content such as developer interviews, trailers and screenshots, exclusive video footage, community activities and the latest Halo news.
In addition, Halo Waypoint includes an innovative career system that tracks players’ accomplishments across multiple Halo games and gives them new ways to show off their heroic gameplay feats. By downloading and enlisting in Halo Waypoint, players will be rewarded with a variety of Bungie-created “Halo 3: ODST” Avatar Awardables for attaining specific Achievements in the game. Rewards vary from stylish T-shirts to full sets of ODST armour. The experience is retroactive, so if players have already unlocked the requisite Achievements, the awards will be ready for them once they enlist in Halo Waypoint.
As a bonus for enlisting to Halo Waypoint, fans will receive a Monitor accessory for their Avatars modelled after the Halo character, 343 Guilty Spark. The Monitor will help fans find their way around Halo Waypoint.
This Saturday, the first preview episode of the highly anticipated anime series, Halo Legends, will debut only on Halo Waypoint.
Written and created by an array of renowned anime studios and produced by 343 Industries, Halo Legends will explore never-before-told stories based on themes and characters in the vast Halo universe.
Following each preview episode on Xbox LIVE, fans will receive exclusive behind-the-scenes looks at each studio’s creative process through “making of” specials.
