The film is followed by Carry On; a direct continuation of the battle teased at the end of Forever We Fight, in which viewers join Master Chief as he battles his way through an army of fearsome Brute warriors, leading to a cinematic face-off between the Chief and the Brute General Tovarus.
Continuing the theme of gamers 'becoming' the hero, the campaign is joined by an online element, Become Master Chief Experience, where fans can scan their face and map them directly into a customized version of the Carry On :15 cut down.
To launch this experience, a series of surprising and diverse celebrities and influencers will reveal themselves as the iconic hero on their social channels with the message: “We are all Master Chief."
