There's a story in Tales from Slipspace, Dominion Splinter, that is a big one when it comes to Halo 6 and reveals the "new" Cortana.

Read the comments here: https://www.reddit.com/r/HaloStory/comments/594nmq/tales_from_slipspace_is_out/

Interesting. No plot details yet? I'd be happy to see another by Denning.

None that we know of. Just been "leaked" to say the least. 343 really likes saving plots for their upcoming works on Amazon.

So far there's about 5 Halo books and we still know no rel- oh, wait, no covers but there are some, looking on their Amazon pages:

Halo: Envoy on 25 April 2017
Halo: Smoke and Shadow on 28 November 2017 2016

And then there's also Halo: Untitled by Matt Forbeck  :laugh:. Coming right after next year's Christmas, 26 December 2017:

https://www.amazon.com/HALO-Untitled-Matt-Forbeck-ebook/dp/B01KU08ZNS/ref=pd_sim_351_3?_encoding=UTF8&p

EDIT: Apparently it's Halo: Legacy of Onyx but with a delayed release.




Halo: Smoke and Shadow is coming on 28 November 2016. My bad.

Find. Claim. Profit. In a post-war galaxy littered with scrap, it's the salvager's motto. And with a fast ship and a lust for adventure, Rion Forge has certainly made her mark on the trade. When the discovery of a wrecked UNSC cruiser brings Rion's past back to haunt her, stirring fresh hope into a decades-old wound, she's hell-bent on finding answers: What really happened to her father and his ship, the Spirit of Fire? This digital-first enovella also contains the complete text of Kelly Gay's short story "Into the Fire", originally featured in the collection "Halo: Fractures".[2]

Oooohhhh. Halo Wars 2 build up!

Looks like it's an e-novella.

I don't know why it hasn't been considered. Their Halo 2 Anniversary cut-scenes were ridiculously good looking.

I was just about to post that video, Hicks, you got me.  :D

New Canon Fodder !

(As some of you may have noticed Grim has taken a break since there's, well, not much in terms of lore to talk about. I was getting tired of pointless multiplayer map, weapon & armor descriptions anyways.)

https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/brute-force

Highlights:

- Halo Wars 2 to release on 21 February 2017
- talk about Halo Wars: Definitive Edition + trailer
- The Silent Shadow, a unique Sangheili special forces division led by Resa 'Azavayl (a.k.a the bastards at the end of the "Headhunters" short story)
- interview with the folks at Dark Horse (John Jackson Miller, Jonathan Goff, Dave Crosland and Tyler Jeffers) about Halo: Tales from Slipspace
- new Halo 5 update, "Voices of War" with 3 different announcers: Buck, Yabda the Mercilles and 031 Exuberant Witness. Try to guess who Yabda is before looking. Voice samples too.  :laugh:
- description of Halo: Envoy, coming sometime in 2017

QuoteIt has been six years since the end of the Covenant War...and yet on the planet Carrow, a world on the edge of the Joint Occupation Zone, a decisive new battle suddenly erupts. Human colonists and the alien Sangheili have already been living a tension-filled co-existence in this place, with Unified Earth Government envoy Melody Azikiwe attempting to broker a lasting peace between their two species. But as civil war now engulfs the Sangheili settlers, Melody must act on an additional covert assignment courtesy of the Office of Naval Intelligence: find a way to free the SPARTAN-IIs known as Gray Team, held in stasis since the end of the war by a cunning Elite fleetmaster consumed with vengeance. And none can anticipate the ongoing violence leading to the discovery of an even greater, unstoppable threat, hidden for eons below the surface of the planet....

Spoiler

Chief's knife looks rather flat here.  ::)

I've about a third through Smoke and Shadow and I'm really enjoying it. Moving at a brusque pace and sometimes a little sparse on the details but I'm digging it.

I've not read the Canon Fodder yet but last I saw the fancy pants edition of Wars 2 was digital only so far. They best be doing a physical copy. I'd love to get the original Definite Edition but I don't want a digital copy.

That Halo 5 update, "Voices of War", is apparently the FIRST paid DLC for Halo 5.

Only played the first one. I loved it. It ate so much of my f**king time when I was a kid.
