We re only one month away from Halo Infinite’s release in December!!! Check out the latest Podcast Evolved content leading to the release of the most anticipated Halo game in over a decade!
Patreon Perks
First off, we just wanted to acknowledge our patrons and thank them for their continuous support over the last few years. We have really been able to do so much with the show and community that we could not have ever thought of doing without you.
Second, in a show of gratitude to our patrons, Evolved commissions Halo artwork from Halo community artists. Coming in just under the wire is the very latest piece by Christian Blanche (@QuintSays on Twitter), Hornet Assault. This piece depicts Sergeant Avery Johnson aboard a Hornet during Operation: TREBUCHET, flying to his sniper position in support of his squad’s hunt for an insurrectionist terrorist. If this sounds familiar, it’s because it is the prologue scene from Halo: Contact Harvest, and is an awesome introduction to the book and the Insurrection. You can check out the sample image below, and if you want a full-res digital copy, be sure to become a patron today. All tiers get a digital copy of the artwork, and certain tiers even get a poster of the piece mailed directly to their home!
Halo: Survival
If you have missed it, Podcast Evolved just wrapped up the final episode in the six-part non-canon Halo audio drama, Halo: Survival. Featuring Rhino Squad, Halo: Survival tells the story of an ONI mission gone awry and the squad’s efforts to complete the objective while also trying to do the most important thing: survive. You can catch all six episodes on the Podcast Evolved podcast feed, the Halo: Survival podcast feed, and our YouTube channel. Now that they are all out, this is a great time to sit down and binge the entire series!
An Infinite Amount of Lore
We are finally closing in on Halo Infinite’s release, and likewise we are finishing up the current seasons of our two lore series’, Road to Infinite and Character Dossiers. As we get closer to the launch of a brand new Halo campaign and a deluge of new Halo lore, both series are ramping up to a season finale focused on the most important parts of the Halo story that might play into the greater Halo Infinite narrative. This last month saw the coverage of both Doctor Catherine Halsey and the AI she created, Cortana in the Character Dossier series. Also, Road to Infinite finished up the last of the Halo timeline after Halo 5: Guardians, with a review of the most important events from 2559-2560, the two years leading to the Halo Infinite campaign.
That is all for this month! Be sure to check out the Evolved Digest: Blog Edition next month for the last Podcast Evolved content before everything changes with Halo Infinite! Thanks to everyone over the years for the support. Evolved!
