Microsoft to show off Halo 5: Guardians’ gameplay using airspace above Sydney

Xbox Australia today announced that it will be broadcasting Halo 5: Guardians gameplay using the airspace above Sydney next week.

A 20,000 square foot screen will be flown above Sydney around 8pm AEDT on Monday, 26 October, showcasing Guardians’ first ten minutes of gameplay.

The screen will make its way from Sydney’s northern suburbs toward Coogee and back.

Halo 5: Guardians headlines the greatest games line-up in Xbox history, and we are incredibly excited to celebrate its launch with our fans in such a unique way,” Jeremy Hinton, Business Group Lead for Interactive Entertainment at Microsoft in Australia said. “Be sure to look to the skies this Monday evening to witness history being made.”

Halo 5: Guardians will be available on Xbox One from 27 October. Expect our review of the game ahead of this zany PR stunt.
