Recently, we were delivered an exciting piece of news, Halo: Escalation to follow the Halo Wars storyline in a way, now, we have details to run off of with a cover and description! The base information and image come from ComicBookResources.com, who listed multiple upcoming Dark Horse titles. Starting off with the cover, it is noticeable that this is a Forerunner world, surprisingly enough looking much more dense and valley-like compared to Requiem which was overloaded with metal buildings and constructs, this seems to be more of an isolated plain, but one construct is still noticeable with the typical forerunner silver and blue. The area actually hearkens back to Forge World from Halo: Reach, oddly enough, it looks nearly exactly the same! We can clearly see Thorne and three squadmates observing the valley. Majestic team was composted of five members, and we know that one particular squadmate was killed in action, so one squadmate, likely Thorne, took over the team. The warthog is included in the shot, and for the first time we see a Halo 4 era Turret-less warthog have a main feature in the story somehow. In the reflection of the front visor, we can clearly see more silver and metallic structures, as well as some form of floating debris. Oddly enough in the backdrop you can make out what looks like more continents floating above, as the outline is thicker then that of a cloud, similar to the Halo 5 trailer where whole planets could be seen from the landscape. View attachment: HaloEscalation7.jpg The most odd feature of the image is what looks like Forerunner cruisers ascending from the ground, three to be exact. Their appearance looks oddly similar to the Promethean Turrets fought in-game, without the orange details coursing through the sides. Could this be an indication of a sort of Allied Promethean group in the next Halo? The original blue Promethean Soldiers only fought the Chief because their function was to keep anyone attempting to awake the Didact out. Since these were Librarian Prometheans, and the Librarian does side with the Chief, could we see allies within the Prometheans in later titles? View attachment: Halo4-169-610x805.jpg Next, the description. It clearly states that New Phoenix, which had the entire population exterminated at the end of Halo 4, has been opened up and now Thorne will be going in to investigate. Two interesting pieces that go along with each other here are, "what it has to do with the Master Chief," and, "An essential addition to the Halo canon!" These lines signal that this will have an effect on John's journey in Halo: Xbox One, and that it will be essential to Halo's canon story. Of course, this could be marketing strategies and not anything large at all, but previous escalation comics have shown this to be false with the death of a member of Majestic, as this has a major effect on Majestic's role in the story. So taking all of that in, would you enjoy fighting alongside the Prometheans or rather keep them as enemies? Credits to Brett for pointing out this article to me!
