Halo: The Master Chief Omnibus is an upcoming omnibus collection set to release in 2026 and compiling the first three Halo novels: The Fall of Reach, The Flood, and First Strike. The omnibus release is set to include new adjunct material for the three stories further expanding upon the events depicted, alongside new artwork and up-to-date corrections from older editions to help bring the stories better into line with current canon.[1][2]

Changes from previous releases[edit]

For the re-release collection, the core stories being told have not been changed in significant ways.[1]

Changes in Halo: The Fall of Reach[edit]

Examples provided by Halo Studios' Franchise Writer Alex Wakeford on the changes in The Fall of Reach include:

  • Changing an erroneous mention of the year 2542 in one chapter to 2552.
  • The previously-stated 80,000 metric tons (79,000 LT; 88,000 ST) mass given for UNSC Iroquois has been updated to the 1.8 million tonne figure provided in Halo: Warfleet.[1]
  • Updates to the chapter where Blue Team board the Unrelenting to remove leftover references to nonexistent Spartans from earlier drafts of the novel.[1]
  • The removal of an erroneous "Blue-Five" mention from the book's prologue.[1]
  • An amendment in Chapter 28 to reference that Doctor Catherine Halsey had arrived from her previous work studying the artefact under SWORD Base, as to better tie in with the game Halo: Reach.[1]
