Microsoft unveils Halo 5: Guardians’ final cover art

Over the last few days, Microsoft has been releasing cryptic images with no instructions, no explanation, nothing. Turns out, it was all hinting towards the reveal of the cover art for Halo 5: Guardians.

With the mystery solved, Microsoft has officially released the final cover art for the highly anticipated game, including a special animated poster that "highlights the Spartan fireteams that play a crucial role in the showdown between the Master Chief and Spartan Locke."

"Who are these Spartans?  This and many more mysteries will be uncovered as we draw closer to the world premiere of Halo 5: Guardians at E3 2015.  Join us as we #HUNTtheTRUTH," Microsoft teased.

For those unfamiliar, the #HUNTtheTRUTH movement is part of a campaign designed to provide some backstory to Halo 5. A special page has been created for investigative reporter Benjamin Giraud who has been looking into the origins of Master Chief. So far we've heard a bunch of audio logs of Giraud's findings, but it's incredibly interesting. I suggest you have a listen.

Halo 5: Guardians is set to release exclusively for Xbox One on October 27.
