Halo didn’t skip not-E3 after all

Believe it or not, Halo wasn’t actually at E3 this year. You didn’t miss it during Xbox Showcase, instead it made a brief but beautiful appearance at the Ubisoft Forward event last night. Both Master Chief and The Arbiter are coming to Brawlhalla.

You’ll have to wait a bit first, with both characters appearing in Blue Mammoth Game’s free-to-play platform fighter in 12th of July. However, it will be worth the wait as both characters will get their own unique animations with many references to their original IP.

Brawlhalla continues to puff in its own lane, doing its thing. It’s currently hovering at about 24,800 max players on Steam right now., with a firm hook in both the Platstation and Xbox console communities. It has also been a major destination for all kinds of IP crossovers. Avatar, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and many other guest fighters have appeared and planted their roots in Brawlhalla over the years.

Halo, on the other hand, seems to be doing a bit worse. Halo Infinite on Steam is circling less than 5,000 peak players. While it may be showing up on consoles, we sadly don’t have those stats available. Halo Infinite has been releasing content for the past few months and finally got an infection mode just under a month ago. But with key senior staff continuing to leave 343, it’s not a great look for Microsoft’s once star IP.

Regardless of Halo’s current state, it’s great to see both Master Chief and The Arbiter getting some appreciation through a crossover that seems to have gotten a lot of love.

Will you be giving the duo a try later this year? Let us know below! If you missed the Ubisoft Forward event, you need to check out the Star Wars Outlaws gameplay trailer here!
