In the expansive universe of the video game Starfield, players have discovered the ability to visit the planet Reach from the Halo series. According to the lore of Halo, Reach is the second planet from the sun in the Eridani system.
Players who navigate to this system in Starfield and visit Eridani II will find a lush, breathable planet with diverse biomes, reminiscent of how Reach was portrayed in the Halo game series.
The crossover is a significant surprise for gamers, combining two major gaming universes in an unprecedented move. Players will now have the chance to explore Reach, a key location in the Halo series, while navigating the vast universe of Starfield.
In the Halo series, Reach is known for its diverse environments and its tragic history as the starting point of the Covenant's attack. In Starfield, players will explore these familiar landscapes, experiencing the mountains, vistas, and remnants of a civilization lost to conflict.
The exploration doesn't stop at Reach. Players have also discussed finding other planets from different franchises within the Starfield universe. Acheron, known as LV-426 from the Alien series, is one of three moons orbiting the gas giant Calpamos in the Zeta2 Reticuli system, 39 light years away from Earth. In Starfield, players can explore this moon, known for its main colonist base, Hadley's Hope, which housed 158 people.
Additionally, the Eridani system holds another surprise for Star Trek fans: Eridani I is the planet Vulcan from the Star Trek universe. Players have reported colonizing both Vulcan and Reach, further expanding the boundaries of exploration and colonization within the game.
