Last December, Xbox One users got to beta test Halo 5: Guardians multiplayer for a limited time. Yesterday Game Informer announced that Halo 5: Guardians would be the topic of their July Magazine and revealed the cover for July.

With the reveal of the cover Game Informer released some information from their hands on experience with the game. “We went to 343 Industries to get the first hands-on with Master Chief’s campaign. As you can see from the cover imagery, the Chief is now accompanied by the legendary Blue Team in both single-player and four-player co-op. Linda, Fred, and Kelly were abducted when they were six years old alongside John to be turned into Spartan-II super soldiers. This tight-knit squad grew up together and battled through many adventures in the expanded fiction, but this will mark their first significant role in a core Halo game. With the loss of Cortana in Halo 4, Blue Team steps up to interact with Chief, appear in cut-scenes, and accept commands from him in single-player. In co-op play, everyone takes on a specific member, each with a different load-out unique to their specialty.

We played an early mission set before Master Chief and Blue Team are declared AWOL by the very military that made them. The flipside of the campaign follows Spartan Jameson Locke, seen in the Halo: Nightfall TV series, as he tracks down Halo’s signature hero to bring him in or take him down. Locke recruits a team of his own, Fireteam Osiris, to do the job. This mix of familiar and new faces rounds out the team of high-tech Spartan-IVs, who all come from elite military backgrounds. See if you can spot a returning fan favorite in our coverage trailer below.

Our lengthy hands-on sessions also included plenty of time in the revamped competitive Arena multiplayer. In the cover story, we break down specific changes to the Empire map from last winter’s beta and we debut a never-before-seen map called Fathom. This undersea base looks gorgeous and is loaded with all kinds of hidden tricks for experienced players to dig in and discover. 343 also teases a new multiplayer mode never seen in a Halo game before. Read about all this and more in the latest issue of Game Informer.”

Based off this information we learned that the teams that players combated as last December will actually be the characters that we play in the game. The information told us the names of the blue team besides Master Chief.  We also learned that another beloved character from the Halo Universe would be returning, Gunnery Sergeant Edward Buck.

Halo 5: Guardians is set to release on October 27 on Xbox On, but look for it to first appear during Microsoft’s E3 press conference. Also check out July’s addition of Game Informer for additional information on Halo 5: Guardians if your E3 news is not enough. So far the visual art from Halo 5: Guardians looks like it will be amazing and we can not wait to see how it turns out.
