I hear it tossed around on waypoint sometimes but I never had a full understanding of it.
It means official. You know how every Halo games story is the official story of Halo? Well thats what canon means, while something as say fanfiction would be considered non-canon.
Hope that clears it up.
You might also hear the word “Canon” on things such as shows and other topics (Specifically anime…). Its not just something referred to games.
If anything, if you hear the word “Canon”, basically its true.

Yeah, book definitions often get frustratingly technical with it. Like the other two said, it’s basically what is considered official and true within a franchise, group, etc.

Why wouldn’t this help? " …a sanctioned or accepted group or body of related works <the canon of great literature>" When speaking about canon around here it usually has to deal with the Halo books, the story of Halo.
I guess you aren’t really a sci-fi buff since this word is thrown around in pretty much all of the major sci-fi realm.
Pretend for a moment that Halo is real life, an actual universe. “Canon” is the established facts of that universe.
In our world, it is “canon” that Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States, while Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter is some sort of silly spinoff.
