This image emanating from Microsoft’s Halo 3 Recon reveal at TGS tonight, shows box art for the game.
Which naturally means that the ‘expansion’ will be a boxed game and not downloadable content as first thought.
Microsoft has just showcased the Halo expansion revealed by Bungie at Tokyo Game Show 2008.
The game is a prologue to the events in Halo 3, and tells the story from an all-new perspective: an ODST recon marine.
A trailer was shown in Microsoft’s show keynote, including bombed out buildings, the like of which were seen in the recent “Keep it Clean” teaser.
To the delight of devoted fans across the world, Microsoft debuted “Halo 3: Recon,” developed exclusively for Xbox 360 by acclaimed developer Bungie. “Halo 3: Recon” is a new chapter in the “Halo” saga that lets gamers experience events leading up to the epic story told in “Halo 3” through the eyes of a [color=blue]NEW hero in the “Halo” universe.[/color]
