Master Chief Gets a Redesign for Halo 4

[Spectral Jester]

Looks like Master Chief is going to receive a bit of a makeover in time for Halo 4, according to 343 Industry's Frank O'Connor. Speaking to Xbox World magazine (via CVG), the Halo Franchise Development Director said that the Chief's armour will look different the next time we see it. Apparently these changes are "fairly radical modifications" that are "connected to the story."

 

O'Connor also revealed that the story will see Cortana in peril once more, but perhaps not for the reasons you would expect. "Seven years is the lifespan for a smart AI before it enters a state called rampancy," he said. "Cortana was getting close to the end of her natural lifespan at the end of Halo 3 but she has been exposed to far more information than any other AI in existence. She's going to develop some muscle from that process but it also contributes to her rampancy – that much information makes things worse."

 

Halo 4′s is the first in a proposed trilogy of games which O'Connor aims will return a "sense of wonder and mystery" to the Halo series."We're definitely going back to that air of exploration, and putting in some surprises that I think people will like," he said. Halo 4 is set to hit in 2012.
