Halo: Fireteam Raven Arcade Game Revealed
By Zac Cameron ·
A new way to experience the classic Halo story will be making its way to arcades very soon.
Fans of the Halo franchise will soon have a new way to experience the rough and tumble original campaign with the announcement of Halo: Fireteam Raven. Coming soon to arcades, Fireteam Raven is a cooperative arcade shooter that’s set to tell the story of a group of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODST’s) as they fight alongside the Master Chief and the other survivors from the Pillar of Autumn on the original Halo ring.
An impressively large machine built by Raw Thrills and Play Mechanix in close collaboration with 343 Industries, Fireteam Raven will provide a 130-inch, 4k screen experience with four turret-mounted, multipurpose machine guns to allow up to four players take the fight directly to the Covenant and the Flood.
“We couldn’t be happier to announce this project and have had an absolute blast working with Eugene Jarvis – one of my personal heroes and inspirations – and the wonderful team of talented designers and creators at Raw Thrills,” said Kiki Wolfkill, Head of Halo Transmedia at 343 Industries. “Arcade games are a wholly different challenge compared to console and PC gaming, and we’ve learned a tremendous amount as we worked with Raw Thrills to make this happen.”
“Halo: Fireteam Raven is without a doubt, the most spectacular arcade experience we’ve ever made,” said Eugene Jarvis, CEO of Raw Thrills. “After years of development it is now ready. Experience the intensity and live the world of Fireteam Raven. You will never be the same!”
Players will additionally be able to scan a QR code to connect their arcade experience to their Halo Waypoint profiles, keeping track of their scores and allowing them to compare their results with friends and others. The machine will be making landfall this summer at Dave & Buster’s locations across the United States and Canada, with more locations to be announced in the future.
