Halo: Trial of Reckoning is an entry in the Halo Waypoint Chronicle series of short stories produced by 343 Industries, released on December 6, 2023. The story's release coincides with the launch of Season 05: Reckoning's mid-season update for Halo Infinite, introducing the Firefight mode into the game.

This story is the fourth of such released during Season 05: Reckoning, following Halo: Sunrise on Sanghelios, Halo: Saturn Devouring His Son, and Halo: Battle for the Blood-Moon. Appropriately for the season's title of Reckoning, the story was teased at the Halo World Championship with an image of the House of Reckoning from the Halo Infinite campaign.^[1]

Official synopsis[edit]

February 2560. The wreckage of the UNSC Mortal Reverie served as a central rally point and home to human survivors on Zeta Halo, but it was only a matter of time before it was also overrun by the Banished.

A handful of survivors from the battle have been brought to the iron halls of the House of Reckoning where they are forced to take part in a twisted new war game...
