Halo officially returns in 2 weeks with new release
Halo, the iconic military science fiction franchise that began with Bungie’s Halo: Combat Evolved in 2001, continues to expand its media presence with the upcoming release of a new novel. Halo: Parasite’s Wake, written by New York Times-bestselling author Tim Lebbon and published by Gallery Books, arrives in two weeks. The novel represents the latest addition to an already expansive Halo universe that extends far beyond the games themselves.
Since the franchise’s debut over two decades ago, Halo has become a multimedia powerhouse. The universe encompasses more than 30 novels from various authors, multiple graphic novels, and more than a dozen video games across multiple platforms and generations of gaming hardware. This rich tapestry of interconnected stories has helped cement Halo’s position as one of gaming’s most culturally significant franchises.
The release of Halo: Parasite’s Wake demonstrates the franchise’s continued momentum and enduring appeal. With such a substantial library of content already available, the franchise shows no signs of slowing down, continuing to deliver new adventures set in the iconic ringworld to fans across different media formats.
