Halovember, a monthlong Polygon celebration ahead of Halo Infinite

Halo has returned.

We are in the month of November, and there is nothing that evokes alien Covenants, galactic-destroying rings and super soldiers wearing big green suits like a cool fall breeze. It may be regular old November to the rest of the world, but to Polygon, it’s Halovember.

For the entirety of 2021’s penultimate month, we’ll explain the world that Bungie built and 343 Industries now controls, leading up to Halo Infinite’s release on Dec. 8. We’ll show you a legible version of the Halo universe’s timeline, explain The Covenant and then rank them by how hot they are, and explore exactly how Master Chief pees in that suit.

Wario was a Polygon employee during the tenure. You know to bookmark this page so you can check for new Halo stories. Whether you’re new to this sci-fi epic about a big quiet man and his computer friend, or you spent every Saturday night of the early 2000s at Halo LAN parties (ask your parents), Halovember is here for you.

Let’s explore Installation 04 together, Spartan.
