Halo TV Show Didn't Work Out, But Microsoft Is Committed To More Xbox TV Shows And Movies
While Microsoft's Halo TV show did not become a huge success, that hasn't stopped the company from seeking to adapt its franchises for film and TV. The next release is A Minecraft Movie, which comes to theaters on April 4. After that, there's Season 2 of the Fallout TV show on Prime Video. Then there's a Gears of War movie and TV show. You can expect Microsoft to do even more as it relates to transmedia opportunities for Xbox franchises, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer has said.
