HALO’s Master Chief has been spotted in cities around the world after the TV series landed on Paramount+.
The Spartan super-soldier dominated the skies in Sydney, Toronto, Sao Paulo, and Mexico City over the weekend as the tallest hologram ever to be made.
He ‘arrived on Earth’ in holograph form and scaled the equivalent height of a six-story building – stealing attention from the Sydney Opera House in Australia.
The iconic warrior was brought to life by Kaleida, the company behind the Robert Kardashian hologram famously gifted to reality star Kim Kardashian for her 40th birthday.
Each installation weighed over 24 tons.
The epic stunt took place three weeks after Halo became the most-watched premiere of all time on Paramount Plus.
The Steven Spielberg-produced series is the latest extension of the Halo franchise – the hugely popular first-person shooter game spawning $6 billion in revenue.
It follows the storyline of Master Chief and his unit of warriors clashing with an alien cabal called, The Covenant, for domination over ancient ringworld weapons built by the Forerunners.
A second series has already been commissioned.
