Even though there’s no plan to bring expanded content to the campaign, 343 Industries has already said that they will support the multiplayer aspect of Guardians with future releases of more maps and REQ packs. Also, 343 Industries released an infograph outlining different stats for the game’s campaign and multiplayer modes including that there are eight different playable co-op characters and thirteen hidden skulls in the campaign.
Microsoft recently updated the Halo Channel app to provide a “complete stat tracking experience” for the game and, in a recent interview, said they felt that Halo is the “Star Wars” of video games.
Halo 5: Guardians was released on October 27th, the full review can be read here.
