It was announced by Joe Staten during Microsoft's Media Briefing at E3 2009 in Los Angeles, California, and is set for release in Fall 2010 [4]. Bungie President Harold Ryan commented that Reach may include Project Natal features [5].
An invite to the Multiplayer Beta is included with Halo 3: ODST, with a planned release for Spring 2010.
Development
- "Where there will be a full three-year cycle, it's got all-new tech, akin to the change from Halo 2 to Halo 3, not like ODST, which is just built on top of the foundation."
- — Bungie Community Manager, Brian Jarrard.
Reach has been in development since the completion of Halo 3, in the tradition of a full three year cycle, and will use a completely new game engine created specifically for the game. It was confirmed in October 2009 that Martin O'Donnell, Bungie's lead composer, had begun casting voice actors for Reach [6]. While only a year away from release, Reach's environment architecture, cinematic script, and most in-game encounters have been either completely finished or polished [7]; in addition, many properties of Reach have been placed in the game and are currently playable. Around October and November of 2009 it has seemed some Halo Reach game footage has already been leaked! There are pictures of strange but cool new weapons such as a new looking Battle Rifle and what seems to actually be a mixture of a Needler and a Carbine . So far, Bungie has not said a word about this "leak", but until they do we're just going to have to believe it is real leaked Halo Reach footage.
