Halo 5 Guardians on Game Informer’s July Cover, Story Details Teased

343 Industries also promises brand new multiplayer modes for the series.

Game Informer has revealed its cover for the upcoming July 2015 issue and it’s none other than 343 Industries’ Halo 5: Guardians. While some new multiplayer details will be revealed, including what’s changed since the beta, the most interesting teaser is for the story.

It seems that Master Chief will be joined by other Spartans in single-player and co-op, namely Kelly, Fred and Linda who were with John from the age of six years as they all became Spartans. Blue Team will not only appear in cutscenes and interact with Chief but can also be given commands in single-player. Co-op play sees a different player taking command of a different Spartan’s load-out.

It also seems that Jameson Locke, the OSI agent hired to find Master Chief and Blue Team after they go AWOL, has his own squad called Fireteam Osiris for hunting down the group.

Other interesting details include a new map called Fathom, never-before-seen multiplayer modes and changes made to the earlier beta’s Empire map. Pick up Game Informer for more information or wait till E3 2015 where Microsoft will undoubtedly unveil new game footage.
