Welcome back friends, old and new, to another monthly installment of the MCC Development Update series! Usually I can’t believe that a month has already gone so quickly. But this month has been a long year, so to speak, and I’ve spotted a few more grey hairs joining the ranks in my beard. To help reduce my greys, this is my heartfelt reminder to stay inside, continue social distancing, and continue your efforts to battle against the Covenant on this Great Journey!
This month we will start off by taking a brief look back at what has happened since the launch of Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary on PC and what you can expect in April for MCC playlist updates. From there, we’ll look at our planned public flights for Halo 2 and Halo 2: Anniversary. After that, we will talk shop with some members of the Publishing Team for a design update covering Theater, Forge, the upcoming challenges system, and more. We will then cruise on down the road to an update from the Senior Producer on MCC as it relates to all areas on the project. Before we leave, I will touch on a few important things in our Looking Ahead section.
THE GREAT JOURNEY
Earlier this month, we took another step on the Great Journey in bringing MCC to PC. Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary is now available via Xbox Game Pass for PC (Beta), the Microsoft Store, and Steam! The full launch blog detailing all its goodness lives HERE. You can also find some sweet pixels that snickerdoodle organized over HERE. This culmination of efforts has been celebrated by many online and while it was a surprise launch, it’s been rewarding to see such reactions from Halo fans old and new. As we have stated before, this is a journey we are taking with our fans as we bring each title to PC.
To bring all of the titles in MCC to PC we have enlisted the help of the community through our Halo Insider Program. If you would like to sign-up for a chance to participate in future flights, please head over and register for the Halo Insider Program. Or, if you are already registered, it never hurts to update your profile (make sure you have a DXDIAG file uploaded if you want to be eligible for PC flighting and make sure your email is current and verified!).
