It's the world we live in when one of the most famous video games of all time is getting a limited release for free, purely because it's collaborating with a soft drink that was developed in Germany as a replacement for Coca-Cola during World War II. And yet, here we are! With the franchise celebrating its 25th anniversary, Xbox is going big on Halo: Campaign Evolved, and apparently, that now includes Master Chief-adjacent orange soda.

The next few years promise a lot of blockbuster releases for fantasy enjoyers of all kinds. For those looking for a mythical epic, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is the event of this summer to look forward to, bringing the director back to theaters to bring to life one of the most famous literary adventures from across history, with Matt Damon in the lead role. Laika is finally releasing their latest effort after over a decade of development, too, in the form of the gorgeous stop-motion film Wildwood in October. Next year, meanwhile, will see the return of two classic series with Greta Gerwig's much-anticipated Narnia: The Witch's Nephew bowing in theaters in February and The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum arriving on December 17, 2027. For those looking to return to a certain long-dormant fantasy video game world this year, however, the wait just got a bit longer.
