 Halo 3, the final chapter in the groundbreaking Halo trilogy, is preparing to shatter day-one entertainment sales records when it is released worldwide on September 25.

Created by Bungie Studios and exclusive to the Xbox 360, Halo 3 plans to raise the bar for interactive story-telling and social gaming by engaging consumers worldwide in Master Chief’s epic battle to save humankind.

Nick Segger, Group Product Marketing Manager, says, “’Halo 3’ is much more than a video game release, it’s potentially the biggest entertainment event of the year. For the fans though it’s the chance to revisit the Halo legend and finish the fight in stunning high definition.”

The announcement of the Halo 3 launch date comes on the eve of the release of the Halo 3 multiplayer beta, which will debut to audiences worldwide via Xbox Live on 16 May at 10pm and run through to 7 June at 4:59pm (Australian Eastern Standard Time). The Halo 3 multiplayer beta will provide audiences worldwide with an exclusive, early look at some of the multiplayer elements of Halo 3 on Xbox Live.

Gamers who are interested in experiencing the multiplayer beta of Halo 3 can still participate through the purchase of the critically acclaimed Xbox 360 exclusive title Crackdown which was launched in February. Starting 16 May the specially marked copies of Crackdown will act as a key for gamers to participate in the Halo 3 multiplayer beta. In addition to giving gamers their first opportunity to get their hands on the new levels, weapons, vehicles and game types, the multiplayer beta will also provide valuable data that Bungie will use in continued development.
