343 Industries today announced that a new Halo title is in the works, called Halo Online, but it's a pretty puzzling game announcement for a couple of reasons.
Not only is Halo Online a free-to-play title - marking the
franchises' entry into the free-to-play arena, but it's also a PC
exclusive and will only be releasing in Russia for the time being.
The game is being developed by Saber Interactive and Innova Systems,
in collaboration with 343 Industries, and will use a modified Halo 3 game engine:
"Halo Online is powered by a highly
modified version of the Halo 3 engine and optimized for smooth
performance on lower-end PCs. While there’s no campaign mode, Halo
Online is set on a secret UNSC space installation called Anvil, where
Spartan-IV soldiers train together in war exercises to sharpen their
battle skills and test experimental technology.
During the Halo Online closed beta, we will continuously adjust and modify gameplay, features, and the in-game economy. We’re looking forward to getting feedback from gamers living in Russia when Halo Online enters closed beta later this spring via Innova’s 4game platform."
