Halo Legends on Blu-ray will come to life in 1080p video and 5.1 lossy Dolby Digital audio.

Bonus features will include The Making of Halo Legends; Halo: Gaming Evolved; Halo: The Story So Far which covers the Halo universe time line of events through Halo 3; and commentary tracks from Frank O'Connor and Joseph Chou on each episode.

The official synopsis is as follows: This 8 episode anthology of 10-15 minute length each, explores the origin and historical events of the Halo universe, and various characters inhabiting the world. Like Animatrix and Batman Gotham Knight, each of the 8 episodes will be created by a separate prominent Japanese anime producer.

The Halo franchise is going the Animatrix route by releasing a series of anime short films in a collected anthology entitled Halo Legends. The collection will feature seven stories told across eight episodes, all serving to expand the mythology of the Halo universe, much in the same way that the recently-released Halo 3: Odst sought to do.
