Halo: The Mona Lisa Rereleased October 31, 2024

One of the greatest pieces of content Microsoft ever released on the now defunct Halo: Waypoint application was a stylish animated film called The Mona Lisa. Based on a short story from the first book of Halo short stories, The Mona Lisa is about a crew of UNSC who are unfortunate enough to come in contact with the surviving Flood after the events of the first game.

It is probably one of the scariest stories in Halo lore and I am so happy to see it was reposted today on the official Halo channel!

Happy Halloween!
