Halo Infinite fans are in for a treat as the iconic Halo Game Fuel, the themed Mountain Dew drink, is set to make a triumphant return. This revival coincides with the celebration of the legendary Halo 3.
Reliving the Legacy of Halo 3
Halo Game Fuel, the special edition Mountain Dew drink, first made its debut back in 2007 alongside the highly anticipated release of Halo 3. It played a pivotal role in building excitement for Bungie’s third installment in the Halo franchise. However, it was initially intended as a limited-time offering, leaving fans craving for its return. While other Game Fuel promotional flavors graced the gaming world, such as those for World of Warcraft in 2009, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 in 2011, and even Halo 4 in 2012, the thirst for another Halo edition endured.
The Return of a Classic
The excitement hit new heights as the official Halo Twitter account announced the return of Mountain Dew’s Halo Game Fuel. The classic flavor is scheduled to hit the shelves once again on November 6. The announcement was accompanied by a captivating video that retraced the history of this legendary beverage. The video began with a nostalgic view of the original Halo Game Fuel can, adorned with the image of the iconic Master Chief and the Halo 3 logo. After a brief moment, the can was shaken, revealing a revamped version of the limited-edition flavor. This new artwork featured the tantalizing description “Citrus Cherry” and showcased images of John-117 in his Halo Infinite MJOLNIR armor, as well as the AI known as The Weapon. The can was further adorned with the logos of Halo Infinite and Xbox.
A Trip Down Memory Lane
The revival of Halo Game Fuel has sparked immense excitement among the gaming community, especially those who fondly remember the first edition linked to Halo 3. The response on Twitter was overwhelming, with thousands of likes and comments pouring in. The official Halo account acknowledged the significance of this moment to the fans, noting that it “feels like 2007 again.”
Beyond the Beverage
This exciting news comes as 343 Industries, the developer of Halo Infinite, has even more in store for fans. Apart from the return of the beloved soft drink flavor, the game is set to feature in-game references to Mountain Dew, including various cosmetics and a map inspired by the brand. Nostalgic fans will also get a chance to explore a playlist of classic Halo 3 maps.
Moreover, there’s a lot happening in the Halo universe beyond this beverage collaboration. Season 5 of Halo Infinite is on the horizon, scheduled to launch on October 17. It promises a fresh battle pass, new game modes, and exciting new maps. Additionally, there are rumors of 343 Industries working on a new campaign for the series, although no official confirmation has been provided as of now.
