Other titles already announced for Windows Mixed Reality include Ark Park, a spinoff of the smash-hit survival game Ark: Survival Evolved. The experience will be a free download on the Windows Store.“It’s a fun, brief introduction into the world of Halo,” Kipman said.Īs it’s a free title, we don’t expect too much from Halo: Recruit, but it should, at the very least, help show the potential for the series in a virtual reality or mixed reality environment. Halo: Recruit releases on October 17 for Windows Mixed Reality headsets.

At the very least, it's good to know that Microsoft is still aware of the demand for more Halo content, even if it is in the form of a very basic VR shooter.

It's certainly not much, and this being the Halo VR software that fans were looking forward to is sure to make some people annoyed, but with Halo 6 not coming anytime soon, we'll take what we can get. Unfortunately, that's it for Halo: Recruit just now, but the experience will thankfully be free and available to download on October 17. In the post-game carnage report, players can see just how well they did back in the shooting gallery and Cortana will appear to display their rank. After that, the experience transforms into a basic shooting range for players to enjoy firing at targets with a set of pistols. Developed in partnership with Seattle-based VR company Endeavor One, Halo: Recruit will allow players to explore classic Halo enemies in Virtual Reality as Guilty Spark displays information about each creature.
