The Halo Encyclopedia is a reference book originally set to be published on March 29, 2022 by Dark Horse in conjunction with 343 Industries, but later delayed to April 12, 2022. The book is a successor to the previous Halo Encyclopedia released in 2009, and features numerous custom-made pieces of artwork by both 343 in-house artists and several images and designs created by the fan mod Sins of the Prophets[1] and Halo: A Fistful of Arrows creator Levi Hoffmeier.[3]
The book includes elements from across two decades of Halo history, including content from Halo Infinite.[1]
A deluxe edition variant was additionally released, containing an exclusive lithograph, a unique cover and slipcase inspired by the Forerunner Cylix.[6]
