According to Bonnie Ross, 343’s studio head says that planning and writing for Halo 6, and also says that 343 Industries knows the ending to the Master Chief’s story, but no details have been released. This post is not speculation of how the Master Chief’s story will end, or Halo 6. When Halo 4 came out in 2012, 343 Industries said that Halo 4 was the first game in the Reclaimer Trilogy. With the recent release of Halo 5, 343 has mentioned the Reclaimer Trilogy becoming more of a saga, and currently says they know the plan for the next decade of the Halo Franchise.
But what of the Post-Reclaimer Saga?
I imagine nobody has started planning for this era of Halo. As a big time Halo fan, I have considered several possibilities of the future.
And I have a suggestion.
We have a young, new Spartan that has a big future ahead of him. Spartan Locke. What I would like to see (post-Reclaimer) is Spartan Locke find another Halo ring. Possibly a separate, independent Halo ring, incase something were to happen to the Halo array, there would be a backup to contain the flood. Which means the flood have to return. Spartan Locke must destroy the ring in a way similar to the way the Master Chief destroyed the Halo ring from Combat Evolved, but different enough as to continue the story. The game (post-reclaimer) would please the most amount of Halo fans of the game had several Combat Evolved references, but continues the story in a new, exciting and brilliant way. We have this idea work in the past in movies several times. Here’s a few examples:
Star Wars VIII in relation to Star Wats IV
Jurrasic World in relation to Jurrasic Park
Star Trek in relation to Star Trek: A New Generation
We know that this works and that the public enjoys it. I would like to see my idea for this game applied in this future game.
Oh, and just in case anyone needs ideas for what to call it, I got that. Halo #(whatever it ends up being): Revolution.
Thank you for reading my post and considering my idea.
