At this years Comic-Con in San Diego, Microsoft has revealed a new anime series in the works for their prize pig Halo entitled “Halo Legends,” which will bring the Halo franchise and its extensive mythology to an entirely new medium, in the form of several original anime short films.

A preview of select “Halo Legends” episodes will first debut on Xbox LIVE, starting this fall through a new experience called Halo Waypoint. Halo Waypoint will be a new destination for “Halo” fans on Xbox LIVE around the world. It will inform fans of the latest “Halo” news and activities, and grant access to content ranging from podcasts, trailers and screenshots, to exclusive video footage you won’t find anywhere else.

It also will provide a new challenge for “Halo” gamers with a career system and player rankings tied to both in-game and out-of-game accomplishments related to “Halo.” In addition to the limited, early episode premieres, Halo Waypoint will debut several behind-the-scenes videos that chronicle the making of “Halo Legends.”
