Halo: Reach is a first-person shooter video game developed by Bungie and published by Microsoft Game Studios, originally for the Xbox 360. The fifth installment in the Halo series and a direct prequel to Halo: Combat Evolved, Reach was released worldwide in September 2010.

Release[]

Reach was first announced at E3 2009 in Los Angeles, California, and the first in-engine trailer was shown at the 2009 Spike Video Game Awards. Players who purchased Halo 3: ODST were eligible to participate in a Reach multiplayer beta in May 2010; the beta allowed Bungie to gain player feedback for fixing bugs and making gameplay tweaks before the final release.

Halo: Reach was Bungie's final Halo game, as all subsequent games have been overseen by Microsoft subsidiary 343 Industries.

Plot[]

Halo: Reach takes place in the year 2552, where humanity is locked in a war with the alien Covenant. Players control Noble Six, a member of an elite super-soldier squad, when the human world known as Reach falls under Covenant attack.

Gameplay[]

The gameplay received the ESRB rating of "M" for Mature 17 and older with content descriptors for "Blood" and "Violence".[1]
