Halo Fest

As part of our <a href="https://aka.ms/Halo25Launch">25th anniversary celebration</a>, we’ve teamed up with Seattle’s Museum of Pop Culture (MOPOP) to offer a Spartan-sized Supper Fan Club just before <a href="https://www.halofest.com">Halo Fest</a>!



The <a href="https://www.mopop.org/programs/supper-fan-club">MOPOP Supper Fan Club</a> dishes out unforgettable evenings where pop culture and cuisine collide. On December 9, MOPOP’s master chefs are inviting Spartans of all stripes to indulge in sumptuous eats on a Great Journey through curated courses of Halo-themed fare.



Featuring Halo-themed bites and cocktails, table-side multiplayer, interactive experiences, and curator-led stories from the ONI’s most redacted dossiers, this limited-seating event promises as much excitement as a legendary campaign run.



The Halo x MOPOP Supper Fan Club serves up heroic helpings for one night only on December 9, 2026. <a href="https://www.mopop.org/events/supper-fan-club-halo">Get tickets now</a> for a taste of the action.

All year long, we’ll be inviting Halo fans to share their favorite Halo memories, celebrate Halo’s iconic legacy, and vote on community polls to help us tell the whole Halo story.



Whether you’re a battle-hardened Spartan or a Halo rookie, we hope you’ll join the fun by sharing your Halo story through our <a href="http://aka.ms/Halo25TogetherMemories">official submission form</a>, on social media using hashtag #Halo25Together, in our <a href="https://www.discord.gg/halo">official Discord server</a>, or on <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/halo">r/Halo</a> with the #Halo25Together tag.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">KEYBOARDS</h2>



Higround’s limited-edition Halo: Combat Evolved 25th Anniversary gear series unleashes a trio of elite gaming keyboards armored in retro art honoring the legendary Spartans of 2001. With three designs to choose from, there’s something to evolve everyone’s game.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">SNIPER EVOLVED</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/10/HG_SniperEvolved-1.jpg" alt="Sniper Evolved keyboard" class="wp-image-154148" srcset="https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/10/HG_SniperEvolved-1.jpg 1920w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/10/HG_SniperEvolved-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/10/HG_SniperEvolved-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/10/HG_SniperEvolved-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/10/HG_SniperEvolved-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://wpassets.halowaypoint.com/wp-content/2025/10/HG_SniperEvolved-1-1568x882.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></figure>



The perfect tool for Jackals on the ridge. Take aim with the Halo x Higround Basecamp 96+ Sniper Evolved Keyboard, featuring a tactical look at the Master Chief perched downwind with his favorite precision instrument.



Built on Higround’s largest frame with full-width backlighting, this limited-edition keyboard is an ode to the weapon that launched a million montages.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">About the Basecamp 96+</h4>



Higround’s new 96% keyboard features a num pad for added utility, without sacrificing a relatively compact form factor. Built with the same sound profile and build quality as the longstanding Basecamp+ series, the Basecamp 96+ features dye-sub PBT keycaps, hot-swappable pre-lubed TTC Neptune switches, an aluminum plate, and Higround’s legendary Dampening Plus system.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">FLAWLESS COWBOY</h3>
