- — Official summary[2]
Halo 4 marks the return of John-117 as a playable protagonist after three Halo games focusing on different sets of characters. Having been lost in space in the finale of Halo 3, John-117 and Cortana are adrift aboard the wreckage of the frigate Forward Unto Dawn. They find themselves being drawn into Requiem, a Forerunner Shield World first seen in the Legendary ending of Halo 3.[9]
They confront a remnant faction of the former Covenant Empire as they are pulled into the planet's abyss. Inside Requiem, John is determined to rescue Cortana as she struggles with her own capability and mortality, finally experiencing the effects of rampancy as she nears the end of an AI's seven-year life span. Together they face a new, seemingly unstoppable, foe when they awaken the Ur-Didact, an ancient Forerunner and fallen warrior hero first explored in the Forerunner Saga. After aiding the crew of the UNSC Infinity upon their arrival, the pair depart from Infinity and set off to battle the Didact and his army of Prometheans to prevent him from obtaining the Composer, a powerful Forerunner device capable of wreaking vengeance and annihilation on the Human race.
