The 2001 novel Halo: The Fall of Reach is officially receiving an audio drama adaptation, which is set to release on November 10, 2026. The audio drama will see Halo's Master Chief and Cortana actors, Steve Downes and Jen Taylor, return in their iconic roles.
Halo: The Fall of Reach was the first-ever novel in the sci-fi franchise, released in 2001 as a prequel to Halo: Combat Evolved. 25 years later, it is still considered to be among the best Halo books, exploring the origins of series protagonist, Master Chief. The book leads directly into the events of Combat Evolved, making this audio drama great timing, given the upcoming release of the remake, Halo: Campaign Evolved.
Halo Studios confirms a few disappointing pieces of Halo: Campaign Evolved news.
The Halo: Fall of Reach audio drama was officially revealed on Halo Waypoint, while publisher Simon & Schuster has it listed as releasing on November 10, 2026. This is just five days prior to the series' 25th anniversary, a massive milestone. Tim Dadabo will narrate the Fall of Reach adaptation, while Steve Downes and Jen Taylor will reprise their roles as Master Chief and Cortana/Dr. Halsey, respectively. More casting news...
