Edge of Dawn News:

Back in January, we revealed three things:

  • Kelly Gay is writing a new Halo novel.
  • It is titled Halo: Edge of Dawn.
  • It will be a Master Chief story.

You’ve waited and wondered about when the novel will be set in the timeline and what the story could possibly be, and the time has come to now lift the lid on what’s been cooking.

For once I am fine with going for a clean slate before Halo 7. I found Infinite's story almost nonexistent, and the little there was? safe, noncommittal. Nothing of note happens in that game. You wind up on the ring months after everything went down. It feels utterly static. A far cry from the space operas of the original trilogy. They tried to do something with Cortana, story-wise... but it's corny af. I unfortunately lost all confidence that this studio can produce anything interesting.
