Much of the holiday 2015 video game lineup may still be in question, but one thing's for certain: 2015 marks the return of the Master Chief. Halo 5: Guardians is easily Microsoft's biggest exclusive this year, and the game is sure to move millions of Xbox One consoles upon release - that's just how popular Halo is.
That being said, when it comes to the game's story, fans don't know a whole lot about what's going on. Sure, Agent Locke is an established character at this point, but aside from an extremely cryptic trailer at E3 2013, no one knows why the Master Chief has suddenly gone AWOL. Microsoft's viral story campaign has dropped some teasers, and there's bound to be something story-related at E3 2015, but so far, 343 Industries has been quiet on what's going on with the Chief.
Surprisingly, the first big story-based reveal won't be taking place at E3 - in fact, it's already been released. Game Informer just announced that its July issue will be centered around Halo 5: Guardians, and some major story points have already been revealed...
Halo 5: Guardians is set for a Oct. 23 release date. If you want to brush up on the series' lore, check out our Beginner's Guide to the story of Halo.
