With the anniversary release of Halo: Combat Evolved to the XBox 360 coming on November 15th, Halo is big news at the minute, and Titan Books are taking the opportunity to celebrate the era-defining franchise in their own way by releasing a brand new hardcore compendium looking at the art of the franchise. Halo: The Art of Building Worlds collects ground-breaking artwork from across all of the Halo games, and Titan have provided WhatCulture with six images, including a few UK exclusives from within the collection, to whet your appetites for the book.

The award-winning Halo series of video games is 10 years old. Having sold more than 40 million copies worldwide, millions of fans have spent billions of hours with the Master Chief and Noble Six, defeating the Covenant and saving the Universe.

This is the ultimate gallery of the Halo universe, with over 400 images including sketches, commentary, and concept art from all stages of development, including characters, weapons, and sweeping landscapes as envisioned by more than thirty of the amazing artists behind the first ten years of Halo including Isaac Hannaford, Shi Kai Wang, Frank Capezzuto and Jaime Jones. From the earliest concepts for Pillar of Autumn and The Maw to the streets of New Mombasa, from the Master Chief to Noble Six, here youll find unparalleled access to the artistic innovation of the Halo archive charting the glorious decade that gave us HALO: COMBAT EVOLVED, HALO 2, HALO 3, HALO WARS, HALO 3: ODST, Halo Legends and HALO: REACH.
