Dear 343i,
It’s been over three years since you announced the Showtime TV series that was supposed to launch with Halo 5. To my knowledge we have only had ONE update as to it’s status, and that was last August, nearly a year ago. It occurs to me that it hasn’t been mentioned since months before Halo 5 released and I’m now concerned you guys have scrapped it. The paltry showing of Halo at E3 just reinforces my opinion of this, and no offence but you guys come across as not caring about anyone outside of NA whatsoever so I’m not holding out hope that it will be shown at Gamescom. Please, please, please can someone from 343i respond to this post? I desperately want to see this TV show happen.
Thanks
A massive fan
There was a TV show planned?

Yep, and i forgot all about it lol
At this point I’ve nearly lost all interest in it and that’s coming from a lore fan, if 343 / Microsoft don’t care enough to even give us a decent update that’s not just “Were working on it” for something that should have launched 7 - 8 months ago why should we still have any interest?
Knowing that it still is happening is good but I want to know.
- Why it is 7-8 months late - An idea of the setting - Acknowledgement that its existence isn’t just an idea but actually happening - An actual name for the series - When is the new estimated release
It’s probably not gonna happen. Js
Sweeped under the rug

Yeah and it wasn’t even 343i or Microsoft who said it’s still happening, it was some guy from Showtime. Agree with all points, leaving us THIS in the dark after over three years is unacceptable.
I don’t think its going to happen.
It is now slated for a 2017 release.

Cross referencing production companies, VFX studios ect.
If its still gonna happen make it during the Human vs Covenant era and give it a good bloody writer please (none of this Brian Reed crap).
Chief Canuck tweeted at 343 about it at E3 and they said “perfection takes time.”
It will be in 2017 according to IMDB.
As long as Locke’s not in it…hopefully he’ll be busy with Marvel’s Luke Cage.
Slightly off topic, but isn’t it baffling that Mike Colter didn’t do the voice of Locke for Halo 5? He did the motion capture, and the character in Nightfall, but not his voice in the actual game. What the hell.

Yeah I just figured that out myself. I believe it was due to scheduling reasons for him playing Luke Cage but don’t quote me on that. I wonder if he did do the voice if I would have enjoyed the character a bit more but that really wouldn’t have helped the writing.
But looking at Destiny, replacing Peter Dinklage’s voice made the ghost much more enjoyable for me despite liking the actor outside of his work on that game. The writing didn’t get any better so the voice acting I guess does make a huge difference.
Man, I forgot all about this. This series and the Deadlands horror/western had me so excited during the Xbox One E3 that first year. Hopefully the Halo show makes it someday.

This.
My only worry about the tweet is it doesn’t give any info at all, it may or may not be in production, it may or may not have a script. There could be nothing happening for all we know
These are all good points. I hope they do continue with the project and they need to give nightfall a free episode or two. Just to get fans back into it.
