In the canon of the books, the planet and its surrounding system are a hotbed of rebel and insurrectionist activity against the UNSC, and John and his team are sent to apprehend a Marine defector operating in the area. In "Halo: The Fall of Reach," the Pioneer is the ship that Master Chief and his Spartan-II compatriots take on a mission to, you guessed it, Eridanus II. Regardless of the details, though, the "Halo" show is clearly taking a lot of inspiration from "Pariah" when it comes to Soren's past. Since he's still young at the time, the attack fails to kill the man, so Soren instead waits in the forests around their farm until the sickness that took his mother takes his stepfather as well.įrom what's said in the Paramount+ show, it's unclear how close Soren's new story is to "Pariah." All he says to Kwan in Episode 4 is that it took him a year after his defection to remember that his father was dead, and another year after that to remember that he killed him. When Soren discovers his mother's dead body - which is hidden from him at first by his stepfather - he swears revenge and attempts to murder his stepfather with a knife. His mother grows ill from a local disease, but his stepfather is negligent in her care and refuses to take her into town for treatment until it's too late. In the "Evolutions" story "Pariah," which details Soren's life, he's raised on an outer colony world called Dwarka by his mother and stepfather. Rather, Halsey proposed the initiative as a means by which to efficiently quell human rebellions and insurrections in the UNSC's outer colonies. To top it all off, the Spartan-II program wasn't even originally conceived to battle the Covenant in the original lore. Halsey's methods of selection reflect a disturbing belief in eugenics. The kids themselves had no say in the matter, both they and their families suffered immense trauma as a result of the operation, and even Dr. Obviously, this process was deplorably immoral for multiple reasons. She used genetic data gathered from humanity's various interstellar colonies and analyzed the physical and mental aptitude of her candidates to determine which children would be the best possible subjects for her experiments, then kidnapped them and replaced them with flash clones whose bodies would quickly break down. The Greenlight submission would have been self published, of course.In the original "Halo" lore, abduction was also the means through which Halsey "recruited" her Spartans.

We've contacted them about this specific issue to see how they handle these things, and will let you know how it shakes out. *Edit: Okay I did some digging and found this:Įmtilt: We're still looking in to it but we believe we should be able to get Steam keys to folks who bought the game elsewhere, including in bundles.Īnd yes it is possible many other developers and publishers have done so in the past.Īs others have noted we're now being published by a third party, which means that by default we don't have any control over key allocation etc. It's a fairly common practice when games are added to Steam that have been in a bundle in the past that the developer or publisher supplies Steam keys for the game to the bundle site to add to the accounts of people who purchased that bundle. Originally posted by Motoki:Will owners of this game through the Indie Gala bundle be getting Steam keys? We'll keep you updated as much as possible - this release took us rather by surprise so we don't have answers for every question to hand right now, but stay tuned! Pricing is now out of our control, though it is roughly in line with our original plans.

#Sentinel 3 homeworld eggs update#
We will be adding Steam achievements as soon as technically feasible, but again any update will have to go out via our publisher.

However, this update will have to be pushed through our publisher so we cannot make any guarantees about when it will arrive. That's 15 new levels, each on a unique map, the second Aurora Commander, new towers/ship weapons/enemies, and Endless mode for all new content. We will be updating the game to include Campaign 2 (for free, not as a separate purchase) as soon as possible. We'll be honouring as many of those as possible, though as we are now being published by a third party, some things will be out of our control. Those of you who followed the Sentinel 3: Homeworld Greenlight campaign might remember our promises for a self-published Steam launch.
