Halo: Battle for the Blood-Moon is the fifth entry in the Halo Waypoint Chronicle series of short stories published by 343 Industries, due to release on November 27, 2023.[1][2] It was initially announced at the Canon Fodder Live event at the Halo World Championships 2023 as one of four then-upcoming Waypoint Chronicle stories, teased only with the keyart for the Combined Arms in-game event in Halo Infinite.[3]
The story is set during the Banished battle for control of the kemuksuru mines of Suban, as depicted in the Halo Infinite Season 05 map Prism. The second intel drop of Season 05 was released as a tie-in to Battle for the Blood-Moon.[1]
