‘Halo 5: Guardians’ Breakout mode detailed, new images and music for Warzone leaked ahead of schedule
Despite the many new information that have been shared during Gamescom on 343 Industries’ upcoming “Halo 5: Guardians,” there are still a couple more that have recently come out. This time, however, the new images for the multiplayer map Warzone were not officially outed by the developer.
The new leaks consist of the theme music and the aforementioned images. Music from “Halo 5: Guardians” came from the beta of the game via a YouTuber, GameSpot reported. The beta remains unplayable to the rest of the public but with the early access, the leak was made possible.
There are also new images for Warzone, most of which show off the menu and settings. Microsoft has already confirmed that the leaks are legitimate, though the company also expressed its disappointment that in-progress work was leaked ahead of schedule. The company did assure that testing for “Halo 5: Guardians” will continue until launch. This could mean that any other succeeding leaks found that may pertain to the quality and gameplay experience of the title may still change, given the continuing progress.
As far as legitimate new information go, 343 Industries has been generous in giving fans more tidbits of what to expect. In a new video interview with Major Nelson as spotted by Gamingbolt, the developer revealed the Arena mode, particularly The Rig map.
This map will be set in Meridian, which is one of the most tested locations in the development process. Interestingly, 343 Industries’ Josh Holmes also introduced fans to the Breakout mode, which is one of the adrenaline-filled modes. It is considered as one of the more challenging “one life, one round” and fast-pace modes, seen in the video below.
“Halo 5: Guardians” has recently been rated T for teen by the ESRB, making this the first installment in the franchise to not receive the usual Mature rating. The decision has yet to be detailed, though considering the game’s played out violence and use of weapons, it would be good to know what had changed in accordance with the rating change.
343 Industries’ latest project is set to release exclusively on the Xbox One this Oct. 27. The developer has already announced several new “Halo 5: Guardians” gear and uniquely-designed Xbox One consoles and hardware for those who have yet to preorder the game.
