Microsoft and Swarovski are teaming up for a special collaboration to celebrate the launch of Halo Infinite and the 20th anniversary of the series. The crystal company made new collectibles inspired by Master Chief's Mjolnir helmet and the Energy Sword.
They aren't going on sale publicly, but fans can enter a contest to win one. Swarovski made 117 in total, in celebration of Chief's Spartan number.
"At Swarovski we know gaming is the future, and we are incredibly excited to be entering the gaming space with this partnership," Swarovski CEO Michele Molon said.
The Mjolnir helmet was molded from a single piece of crystal and has 140 facets, while the Energy Sword crystal has 204 facets and is made from 13 cut crystal pieces. "Each piece of crystal perfection is a microcosm of the franchise values, asking you to become the hero for every adventure to come," Swarovski said.
Shoppers who visit a Swarovski store in the US, UK, Germany, and France can scan a QR code and enter for a chance to win one of the crystals; the contest closes on December 15. Alternatively, fans can enter on Swarovski's website. 20 sets of the helmet and Energy Sword are separately being given away through the StockX "Campaign for a Cause" raffle. From December 9-13, people who donate $10 on StockX will be entered into the contest for a chance to win one of the crystals.
If Halo crystals aren't your thing, The Pokemon Company teamed up with French jeweler Baccarat to create a $26,000 Pikachu crystal and other high-end pieces.
As for Halo Infinite, the game releases on December 8 and it's included with Xbox Game Pass. The multiplayer is already available, and you can check out our top tips to help you get started.
