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]
