Animated film Halo: The Fall Of Reach is available to buy today, according to a post on Microsoft’s Xbox Wire blog. If the name sounds familiar, that’s probably because it’s a direct adaptation of the novel of the same name, written Eric Nylund.
Just like its inspiration, Microsoft says the film “explores the dramatic origins and intrigue behind the SPARTAN program” and “reveals the events that brought Master Chief and Blue Team together.”
