The folks atAddictGaminghave received a screenshot of a Bungie employee’s Gamercard that show’s the employee playing through Peter Jackson’s upcomingHalo: Chronicles. Not much about the game has been revealed since it was first announced, but we at least know now that it’s in Alpha.
What’s really interesting about this is that the employee is going through a stage called Exploring Onyx. In theHalo-verse, Onyx is a planet which is home to the SPARTAN III Project (The Master Chief is a SPARTAN II) and the main focus of the fourth Halo novel,Ghosts of Onyx.Ghosts of Onyxtakes place during the events ofHalo 2and Onyx is more or less destroyed by theend of the book.
This leaves me wondering ifHalo: Chroniclescould be based on thestory ofGhosts of Onyx. It’d be pretty interesting to play as a SPARTAN III and deal with an aspect of theHalostory that doesn’t directly involve the Covenant war.
