343 Industries has confirmed that Bungie’s Halo 3 spin-off, Halo 3: ODST, is joining The Master Chief Collection (PC) on September 22. For the first time ever, PC players will be able to step into the boots of “the Rookie” and battle their way through Covenant-torn New Mombasa with a slew of platform-exclusive enhancements, such as customizable keyboard/mouse support and 60+ frame rates.
You can check out a cinematic teaser for Halo 3: ODST’s PC version below, which should serve as the definitive edition of the game. While ODST is already available for the Xbox One X (and in 4K UHD resolution, no less), the higher frame rates of the PC version should result in an even better-looking experience.
“Known for their courage, valor, and penchant for tackling the impossible, Orbital Drop Shock Troopers, pride themselves on being the first unit deployed into hostile situations,” 343 Industries wrote. “In Halo 3: ODST, return to familiar ground as one of these elite soldiers and drop into the ruined city of New Mombasa to search for clues behind the Covenant’s catastrophic attack on the sprawling metropolis.”
With the release of Halo 3: ODST, the only piece of the puzzle that’s left is Halo 4. 343 Industries is expected to add that to The Master Chief Collection by the end of the year.
