The wait is almost over. “Halo 3,” the final chapter in the
groundbreaking “Halo” trilogy and the most anticipated game release of
2007, has been released to manufacturing.
Three years in the making by renowned developer Bungie Studios, “Halo
3” is now finished and will begin its journey to store shelves around
the world in less than four weeks. “Halo 3,” which has already set new
records as the fastest preordered game in history, has exceeded one
million presales in North America alone. The title is set to shatter
day-one entertainment sales records when it is released worldwide
beginning Tuesday, Sept. 25.
“This is a huge milestone for us and a big cause for celebration at
Bungie and Microsoft Game Studios,” said Harold Ryan, Studio Head at
Bungie Studios. “This is the game we’ve always wanted to make and
certainly the best game our studio has developed. We can’t wait for
gamers to get their hands on it on Sept. 25.”
Created by legendary developer Bungie Studios and exclusive to the Xbox
360™ video game and entertainment system, “Halo 3” will set a new
standard for interactive storytelling and social gaming by engaging
consumers worldwide in Master Chief’s epic battle to save humankind. In
November 2004, the world’s view of video games changed forever with the
release of “Halo 2,” which generated a record-setting $125 million
(U.S.) in sales within the first 24 hours and changed the way people
think about interactive entertainment. Three years later, it remains
the most-played game on Microsoft’s Xbox LIVE® online gaming and
entertainment network, with nearly 1 billion hours of online gaming
logged to date. |
