The Halo 5: Guardians multiplayer beta has launched and is now available for gamers who purchased Halo: The Master Chief Collection. The multiplayer beta starts today December 29, 2014 and runs through until January 18, 2015.

Launching in fall 2015 exclusively on Xbox One, Halo 5: Guardians continues the story of the Master Chief, and introduces a brand new central character to the Halo universe – Spartan Locke.  Peace is shattered when colony worlds are unexpectedly attacked.  And when humanity’s greatest hero goes missing, Spartan Locke is tasked with hunting the Master Chief and solving a mystery that threatens the entire galaxy.
