Halo has put a new kind of energy sword on the cover of Halo: Fireteam Noble<\/em>, a novel slated for early 2027<\/strong>. It\u2019s a single-bladed design, and it\u2019s the first serious departure from the franchise\u2019s classic twin-pronged Covenant sword in 25 years.<\/p>\n

The cover art for the upcoming Troy Denning novel, illustrated by Garrett Post, features Atis ‘Moramai, a new female Sangheili Blademaster. She\u2019s holding an open-hilt weapon<\/strong> with one curved plasma blade, a look that feels sleeker and much closer to a saber than the version Halo fans already know.<\/p>\n\n

So far, Halo hasn\u2019t said what this sword is, how it works, or where it fits in the lore. For now, that leaves room to guess<\/strong>: maybe it\u2019s an ancient Sangheili variant, maybe it\u2019s a personal or ceremonial blade made for Atis ‘Moramai, or maybe it points to a newer evolution shaped by the galaxy\u2019s current state.<\/p>\n\n

If you keep up with Halo lore, this is the kind of detail you\u2019ll probably want to watch. Halo: Fireteam Noble<\/em> takes place in 2560<\/strong>, after Cortana\u2019s uprising and during the Banished\u2019s rise, and it also pulls in Jun-A266, Sigrid Eklund, and Hieu Dinh from Halo Infinite<\/a><\/em>\u2019s seasonal story.<\/p>\n\n

Halo: Fireteam Noble<\/em> is set to arrive in early 2027<\/strong> in print, ebook, and audiobook formats.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
