![]() ![]() Halo 5: Guardians will be released on October 27th. They can wait a little longer, thanks to new in-game distractions. After all, there is no time to show off Master Chief's face with the new Warzone multiplayer mode in the game, as well as a campaign twice as big as its predecessor. Since 2001, fans have been wondering about this hero's face. A little bit of mystery never hurt anyone. But maybe keeping his face a secret is all for the better, in the end. There exists a live-action trailer that came out all the way back in 2012 showing John's face when he was a boy. There have been glimpses of his chest, of the back of his head, of the side of his face throughout the campaign in Halo 4. For those of you who completed Halo 4's campaign on Legendary and caught that glimpse of Master Chief's eyes, do not believe it was letting on about a face reveal for John. "I actually don’t even know if I can talk about that… He doesn’t take his helmet off."Īnd there you have it. Now, we have insight into why the show decided to reveal the face of its traditionally faceless protagonist. Unfortunately, all hopes were crushed with one simple answer: The first episode of the Halo TV series showed the face of Master Chief. Of course, one of the questions was going to be about finally seeing John's face. Halo launches March 24 on Paramount Plus.During Microsoft Canada's X15 event, Gamerant interviewed Halo 5: Guardians creative director Tim Longo. I hope it’s a pleasant surprise and turns out to be really great, Master Chief’s face and all, but there are a lot of hurdles it’s going to need to overcome to both satisfy Halo fans and bring in newcomers. The trailer was fine, but I remain somewhat unconvinced about how this is going to go. And I also think this is, what’s the word here, a bit presumptuous for this unproven Halo TV series to think it should be the place to reveal Master Chief’s face after all this time? I don’t know, that just feels weird to me. I remain…skeptical of this whole project. I would guess it’s not often, but we’ll see. ![]() That’s compared to The Book of Boba Fett which had Fett walking around helmetless for most of it. In The Mandalorian, for instance, we saw Mando take his helmet off for just a small handful of scenes. What’s not clear is how often Chief will be seen out of his helmet in the show. This is Pablo Schreiber, who you may recognize from American Gods or Orange is the New Black (yes, he played “Pornstache”).ĮAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - OCTOBER 12: Actor Pablo Schieiber attends the Denver Broncos Vs New York Jets. But with another actor cast, it makes sense the logical endpoint here is that chief was going to be shown without his helmet.Īnd we uh, know what his face looks like, since we know which actor is playing him. It should not be a huge shock that this is where we ended up, given that from the start, the main question was why the series was not casting longtime Master Chief voice actor Steve Downes, given that presumably, you would just need a stuntman in the armor and the voiceover to be done later, if Chief is always in the armor. But for the nature of this story, it felt really important to connect with the Master Chief in a different way, and that meant showing the face.” We absolutely respect both sides of that fence, those who really want to see Chief’s face and those who really don’t. For some people, it’s been a moment 20 years in the making, and for other people it is something that feels very hard to imagine. “And once we really got into what that story was, it became clear that you really needed to see the person in the armor and under the helmet.” “I think we set out to tell a character story and a personal story,” she said. ![]() It’s now been confirmed that in the upcoming Paramount Plus Halo TV series, which premieres soon and already has been greenlit for season 2, Master Chief will reveal his face:ģ43 Industries’ Studio Head of Transmedia, Kiki Wolfkill, talked to IGN about it: While there’s no Mandalorian-like creed demanding that he does this, it’s just sort of how the character has worked all this time, an unwritten rule about Master Chief. He never takes off his helmet, never shows his face. In terms of status, Master Chiefs recognizability is up there with the likes of Metal Gears Solid Snake or Mario, and one of his most defining features is. There is a single rule about Master Chief in the Halo series, as there has been for 20 years. ![]()
