Official announcement for Halo from Xbox Game Studios, published on Steam on August 25, 2026.
*Welcome to the MCC Mod Minute, a focused look at a creative mod for Halo: The Master Chief Collection, with details on how to try it out yourself through the Steam Workshop.*
Mod Minute returns with orders from the Prophets:
Hunt down the defenders of Reach with extreme prejudice.
Today’s mod selection, The Prophets’ Hand, invites MCC players to experience the fall of Reach through the eyes of the Covenant’s most faithful Elite warriors as they enact a legendary campaign to accelerate the planet’s destruction.
Alien Amendments
From the beginning, you know—well, no, actually just about everything has been rewritten.
The Prophets’ Hand recasts Halo: Reach with a merciless band of Elites in the starring roles. As you navigate each mission of Noble Team’s breathless defense, you’ll get to see how a Covenant suicide squad would work to confound those efforts.
Players storm the doomed planet endowed with a ludicrously packed weapon sandbox, powerhouse custom vehicles, and a divinely appointed equipment set that makes every encounter feel rewarding and unpredictable.
If you’ve ever conceived of a fully automatic Battle Rifle, a chargeable Concussion Rifle that borrows a Hunter’s firepower, or a Needle Shotgun that belches fire, then you’d find yourself right at home in the action-packed arcade of The Prophets’ Hand.
Each encounter boasts throngs of puny but dauntless human enemies, with custom-built color ranks for Spartans, ODSTS, and Marines that instantly convey armor levels or special abilities. Faced with such distinctive foes, you'll learn to take cover when the “one-shot laser” Spartans arrive.
