If you do not already have the add-on content, it is available for $3.99. The update will be available free to players who already own the Minecraft: Halo Edition mash-up pack by 4J Studios.

The update adds a total of 8 new characters to play in Minecraft, all from the two teams in Halo 5 that are at the center of the hunt for the Master Chief. Now Microsoft is leveraging some internal cross promotion by announcing Halo 5 inspired customization of Minecraft through an update to the Minecraft: Halo Edition mash-up pack for the Xbox One and Xbox 360 editions. More recently they also released a gameplay launch trailer to hype up the action-packed Sci-fi shooter’s hunt for the Master Chief. And Microsoft has been busy this past summer creating excitement for Halo 5: Guardians by showing off gameplay at both E3 and Gamescom. The latest installment in the Halo franchise is set to release next week on Xbox One.
