04 THE ORIGINAL GAME
WHERE IT ALL STARTED.
Halo 5: Guardians and Halo 5: Forge were created by 343 Industries, now Halo Studios, and published by Microsoft. Every mission, map, Spartan, and line of dialogue Reforged brings to PC is their work, made by the many artists, designers, engineers, and writers credited in the game itself.
Halo 5 Reforged is an unofficial, non-commercial fan project. It is not affiliated with, sponsored, or endorsed by Microsoft Corporation or Halo Studios. Halo and all related names, trademarks, and content belong to their respective owners.
