Midlothian Update from Halo Waypoint

 "Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian" – Part 4

Written by Frank O'Connor

Animated by ONE 

On Saturday, February 6th, the final episode of the "Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian" motion comic will be available for viewing exclusively on Halo Waypoint.

Pumped full of meds and nearing death, Baird, the grizzled ODST, and sole human survivor aboard the UNSC Destroyer, Heart of Midlothian, makes a final, desperate stand against the Covenant forces that have taken command of the ship. The location of Earth, and likely the fate of humanity, hangs in the balance as the story comes to a stunning conclusion.

343 Industries has partnered with ONE to create a stunning motion comic based on Frank O’Connor’s Halo: Evolutions short story. Told in ONE's unique artistic style, "Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian" is a story of bravery and sacrifice in the darkest parts of space. "Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian" will air weekly as a four-part series exclusive to Halo Waypoint, with a new episode premiere each Saturday through February 6th. After the final episode, the Midlothian series will remain available on Waypoint indefinitely so fans can come back to watch this amazing story again and again.

·         NEXT WEEK on Waypoint

Next Saturday (2/13) we will add the fully compiled version of “Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian” to Waypoint, featuring each of the four episodes edited together and presented as one cohesive viewing experience.

Additionally, we will have a teaser for our next series of Saturday premium content. Unfortunately, I can’t give any specifics just yet, but I think it will be well received and I will make sure to drop everyone a hint (or more) as soon as I can.
