==Background==
Halo: Chronicles was to be an episodic interactive story tellingGames Radar: "I've never heard of a motion-sensing controller…" set in the Halo universe, as confirmed by Microsoft on April 24, 2008. The game was to be a "new chapter" and a "new series" in the Halo story, was stated to feature a new way to play games, and was described by Jackson as the "filmiest game."
Not much is known why the project was shutdown, but it was said to 'collapse when the Movie did'.
==Production Notes==
Very little was revealed about the story line, plot, etc.
In the UK-version Xbox 360 magazine Xbox World 360, it was speculated that the game would be more of an 'interactive movie' where some parts would be semi-playable, and certain decisions would lead to different outcomes that you would then have to watch play out. It had also been stated that it would delve into John-117's backstory.
It was confirmed by Shane Kim at GDC 07 that the project was an episodic title. According to Microsoft, Jackson was planning two episodic series for the Xbox 360. These games appeared to be in a downloadable format. Microsoft went on to tell that the game was now in the development phase.Industry News: March 7, 2007
Originally, Bungie had created a small internal team to cooperate with the New Zealand developers. When the movie and Chronicles fell through, the team was retained and tasked with the creation of Halo 3: ODST instead.Kotaku: How And Why Halo 3: ODST Was Made In 14 Months
