Reach was the sixth title in the franchise that served as the prequel to Halo: Combat Evolved, released in 2010. The game is set in the year 2552 in a human world called 'Reach' and you play as Noble Six who is also a member of the Spartans.Windows Central speculates that early builds will be playable in May but there isn’t any confirmation yet.

Reach is going to be the first title from the collection and it will be launching on Steam and the Microsoft Store.
