Developer 343 Industries has confirmed Master Chief's face will not be revealed in Halo 5: Guardians.

Speaking to Game Rant at Microsoft's X15 event in Canada, creative director Tim Longo confirmed that Spartan 117 will not be taking his helmet off at any point in the game. "I actually don’t even know if I can talk about that," Longo said. "He doesn’t take his helmet off."



The legendary supersoldier's face has been shrouded in mystery ever since the series got its start with Halo: Combat Evolved. Are you glad 343 Industries plans to keep it that way? Let us know in the comments.

In addition to confirming Halo 5: Guardians will not have a Big Team Battle mode at launch, the developer also offered a response to those unhappy with the game's lack of split-screen support.
