Master Chief’s Helmet Is Off Even More In Halo Season 2
The second season of Halo has arrived. For those that were hoping that in Season 2, Master Chief would keep his helmet on more, after unmasking during Season 1 now know that’s simply not going to happen. If anything, Chief is going to take off his helmet more and even spend chunks of episodes in normal civilian clothing. It’s something star Pablo Schreiber has spoken about previously, though he fears his words were misinterpreted and wanted to clear the air.
“There’s a group of people that would prefer that the helmet never came off, right? And yeah, there have been some quotes that have been attributed to me that I don’t think, you know, display my exact words correctly,” he told GameSpot. “And maybe [they] were taken out of context. But just to be clear, you know, I love acting with the helmet. I love and respect helmet acting. And there’s obviously been many great examples of it from The Mandalorian to Star Wars and many successful versions of it.”
Pointing out The Mandalorian is an interesting tactic, given that the Star Wars series on Disney+ does unmask its titular character, but only for larger series moments. When his helmet comes off, you know something big is about to happen. Of course, it also helps film the series, even when star Pedro Pascal isn’t there to wear the helmet.

Ubisoft will reveal more Star Wars Outlaws and Assassin’s Creed Red details in May
With a few well-received games under its belt in recent months, Ubisoft will be looking to keep up its momentum into 2024 and beyond. The publisher may well be gearing up to host an Ubisoft Forward event in May, as that’s when it’s promised to reveal more details about several of its upcoming projects.
In the company’s latest earnings report, it said it will reveal the bulk of its lineup for the 2024-25 fiscal year, which runs through March 2025, in May. It will unveil more details about Star Wars Outlaws and a Japan-set Assassin’s Creed game codenamed “Red,” as well as free-to-play mobile titles The Division Resurgence and Rainbow Six Mobile. The latter will arrive roughly two years than first expected.
Ubisoft previously indicated that Outlaws, which is slated to be a truly open-world Star Wars game, is scheduled to arrive later this year. We can also now expect Assassin’s Creed Red (or whatever its official name is) to drop before April 2025 as well.
Meanwhile, there’s likely to be some news on the XDefiant front soon too. Ubisofot expects “a limited contribution from XDefiant” to its bottom line this quarter, so perhaps that’s when the free-to-play tactical shooter will arrive. Plus, after many, many delays, Ubisoft will at long last release Skull and Bones next week.
