It's no doubt been one of the many things the production team involved have had to figure out during the show's long journey towards the small screen.
It's a clever decision as it not only keeps both mediums separate, without fans having to worry how decisions in one might impact the other - like the various movies and shows set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe - but it also means anything is possible when it comes to the characters, and that the show doesn't have to remain beholden to the game's lore. "We're referring to this as the Halo Silver Timeline as a way of differentiating it from core canon," explains Kiki Wolfkill, the Head of Transmedia at 343 Industries, the video game development company that works on Halo games. "And both protecting core canon and protecting the television story, and by that I mean being able to give ourselves the chance to evolve both and for both to be what they need to be for their mediums without colliding with each other."
But luckily, that won't be the case when it comes to Paramount+'s Halo TV series, which is due to hit streaming next year.Īccording to an interview shared on Twitter by Halopedia, the show will have its own timeline, separate from the games themselves. Between Netflix's The Witcher, Amazon's Wheel of Time, and HBO's upcoming Game of Thrones prequel, there's a lot of pre-existing lore that new viewers - and even some longtime fans - might feel like they have to catch up on.
