Halo Online is a new way for gamers to experience Halo, and a closed beta will be launching in Russia later this spring.
Based on a heavily modified version of Halo 3, and being tailored specifically for Russian gamers, Halo Online might not be part of the renewed focus on PC gaming Microsoft promised a year ago. As of yet, there are no plans to bring Halo Online to the Xbox One or even to other countries, at least in its current form. 343 Industries states that region-specific changes would need to be applied before the game would see release elsewhere, as they feel player expectations would differ.
