00:34From an industrial design perspective, we love to work on limited editions that give us a chance to really connect
00:39with our fans.
00:40We work directly with 343 to understand the storyline, the environments, the characters, and the progression of the universe as
00:47the Halo 5 story unfolds.
00:49We start the custom console process with a lot of brainstorming.
00:53For us, it's how do we take this object, which has to have actual function, and tell a story through
00:59that piece of hardware.
01:01This limited edition has been designed to reflect Halo 5 down to the smallest details.
01:05You know, we have this new breed of Spartan.
01:08And so we really started exploring materials that make up that Spartan 4 armor, that make up things like the
01:14Infinity.
01:16We really wanted to start to bring sort of the Spartan technology and these identities all together into a piece
01:22that would still look sexy in the living room.
01:24The lore, the depth of the universe is something that fans care very deeply about.
01:31And so we wanted to bring a lot of those little details into the design of the console and the
01:37controller.
01:37There's a high polish surface on the front of the console, and that was a really natural place for us
01:42to use the hex pattern that you find in both Locke and Master Chief's visors.
01:48And also use some HUD-inspired graphics over it, brought in the blue coloring through the use of foil.
01:53We use that blue foil over the console and controller in numerous places because it reflects the light just right
01:59and kind of feels like the blue lighting that you find in the Halo universe.
02:03The controller that comes embedded with the console is a beautiful Halo universe controller tying in the themes from Locke's
02:10armor suit and his key colors.
02:13We think very deliberately about planting some of those story seeds because we want them to be able to discover
02:17them and have the satisfaction of figuring out what they are.
02:21If you're looking for more Master Chief, we've designed a controller that's inspired directly by Master Chief.
02:25It has the nice green tones of Chief's armor. It takes some specific styling from his understude, and the triggers
02:33are a nice gold just like his visor.
02:35Master Chief has a braille marking on his armor, and we put that on the back of the controller so
02:40you can actually feel Master Chief's emblem.
02:43I'm really excited about partnering with Astro to bring a special Halo 5 Guardian headset.
02:47It's this cohesive experience that players can immerse themselves in.
02:50The limited edition console for Halo 5 Guardians comes out on October 20th, and it includes a game-on-demand
02:57card so that you can download the game and play on October 27th when it goes live.
03:01Our limited editions are authentic. We design them as if they're a piece of the game that fell straight into
03:06your living room, and they become collector's items.
03:09So you'll love them today, you'll love them in 10 years, you'll love them in 15 years, and you'll remember
03:13the stories around them.
03:16We'll be right back.
