Fractures are reinterpretations of the Halo universe, akin to alternate universes, that exist separately to the core canon of the franchise. They are designed to maintain the main elements and themes of the Halo universe, but are markedly divergent due to either fundamental differences in the nature of the setting, or the way certain events play out. Fractures are designed to give fans a unique and fresh take on the Halo universe, while leaving the existing lore untouched.[1][2]
Fractures universes are used to lend background lore to otherwise non-canonical in-game elements, such as the Yoroi core in Halo Infinite or Belos, Blackguard and Drengr armours in Halo: The Master Chief Collection. As such, they are often linked to in-game events, such as MCC's Season 8: Mythic or Infinite's Fractures: Tenrai event.[1][2]

- Main article: Tenrai
The Tenrai universe is inspired by samurai and Japanese culture.

To defeat the invaders, the clans pooled their knowledge and crafted a new type of armor for their samurai warriors: known in Halo multiplayer under the name Yoroi.[1]
Belos
- Main article: Belos (Fractures)
The Belos universe is inspired by Greek and Roman culture. In this universe, the Chosen are humans who have been chosen to undergo augmentations, making them almost demigods among humans. As such, Chosen make up commanders and bodyguards within the armies sworn to defend Lacedaemon. The Chosen are armed and equipped with custom-made sets of mythic armour and weaponry; known in Halo multiplayer under the name Belos.
