The next chapter in Master Chief's journey will continue on Oct. 27, when first-person shooter Halo 5: Guardians launches for Xbox One, Microsoft and developers 343 Industries confirmed.
Details on the release date were revealed during a pair of live-action trailers shown during the finale of The Walking Dead on AMC.
"We want to amaze players with the sheer size of the worlds and battles they'll experience, even as they question everything they thought they knew about its heroes, marvels and mysteries," says Bonnie Ross, head of 343 Industries, in a statement.
Unveiled last year, Halo 5 picks up after the events of predecessor Halo 4, with star Master Chief coping with the loss of his companion, Cortana. The game will sport a new technology engine built from the ground up, as USAToday said.
Earlier this year, fans of the long-running Xbox franchise got a taste of Halo 5's multiplayer component through a beta testing session that ran through January.
In November, 343 launched Halo: The Master Chief Collection, a re-release of every Halo flagship title with a high-definition makeover. However, a myriad of bugs and other technical problems forced Ross to issue an apology for the rocky start. "We have not delivered the experience you deserve," read a statement from Ross on November 24, two weeks after the collection launched.
