Less than a month from its release, Halo 5: Guardians has officially gone gold. 343 Industries has announced today that their first step in bringing Halo 5 to the masses is complete and awaiting printing. It doesn't stop there, though, as 343 Industries will be developing multiple multiplayer maps, including various for the highly sought for Warzone mode, to better support their community.

Players will be able to play as both Spartan Locke and the Master Chief as they both have their own agendas to attend to. Featuring four-player cooperative play and an incredibly robust multiplayer component, Halo 5 is shaping up to be a killer app under the Xbox One's cap this holiday season.

Halo 5: Guardians will be available October 27 exclusively for Xbox One.
