 Starting in the fall of 2014, a multimedia project known as ''[[Halo: The Journey]]'' was intended to tie together the stories and characters of ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' and those encountered in previous ''Halo '' media. The "Journey" refers to a personal journey undertaken by [[John-117]], who has begun to question his past worldview and left the UNSC. [[Jameson Locke]], who has been dispatched to find the Master Chief, will be a pivotal character in media released during this phase of the story. 343 Industries has stated that they wanted to create a wider cast of recurring characters to appear in future media; 343 Industries General Manager [[Bonnie Ross]] stated that ''"We ... had a tendency to kill all of our characters besides Master Chief. We are not [[Wikipedia:Game of Thrones|Game of Thrones]], and we actually want to make sure going forward we have a larger cast of characters with which to tell stories."''{{Ref/Reuse|eurogamer}}

-===Discontinuation of the Saga===
 By February 23, 2017, [[Jeff Easterling]] introduced the term of "swimlanes" where stories will mostly remain in their own ones instead of branching into the main titles.{{Ref/Twitter|Id=TGB1Swimlanes|GrimBrotherOne|834851818513510400|Jeff Easterling|Y=2021|M=5|D=16|Quote=That's a different point, though. Stories should likely stay within their own "swimlanes."}}
