'''''Halo Waypoint Chronicles''''' are a series of short stories published by [[343 Industries]]/[[Halo Studios]] on the eponymous [[Halo Waypoint]] website, beginning in late [[2022]]. They are generally short fiction designed to feature small glimpses into aspects of the ''[[Halo]]'' universe that may not otherwise be suitable for a feature-length [[Halo novels|novel]] or game. Due to their smaller scope and nature, Waypoint Chronicles frequently feature or flesh out aspects of other ''Halo'' media, and feature increased use of weapons, vehicles, locations, and characters from the series' expanded universe. The Chronicles are written by [[Alex Wakeford]], [[Jeff Easterling]], and other members of the Halo Studios franchise writing team, and are released for free on Halo Waypoint alongside an audiobook usually narrated by Wakeford on YouTube.{{Ref/YouTube|jLgH0jgAhB4|Halo|Community Stage at Halo World Championship 2024 – Day 1|Time=4552|D=17|M=11|Y=2024}}
