Microsoft creates new 'Halo' Xbox divisionMicrosoft has created an entire unit around its most popular Xbox 360 video game series: "Halo." The unit is called 343 Industries, and any hardcore "Halo" gamer would know it's named after the series' quirky 343 Guilty Spark character. I had to look that up.
Anyway, 343 Industries is working with several partners to develop a "Halo" anime short-film series called "Halo Legends." Preview episodes will soon be available via Xbox Live, and the series will be distributed by Warner Home Video, according to a Microsoft news release.
The series will be unveiled today at Comic-Con International in San Diego, according to the announcement.
"We've seen the world through Master Chief's eyes, and we've experienced facets of the universe through a variety of literary prisms," Frank O'Connor, the "Halo" franchise development director, said in the release. "But now we get to watch new tales unfold in really rich, visually dynamic ways. I think anime fans and 'Halo' fans alike are in for a real treat."
