The game was officially announced at Electronic Entertainment Expo 2011 (E3) on June 6. Several external studios assisted 343 Industries with developing Halo 4, and over 350 people worked on the game in total. A goal for Halo 4 's story was to incorporate more human elements to achieve this, the developers chose to delve more deeply into the relationship between the two protagonists, Master Chief and Cortana. Existing characters and assets received visual overhauls, recreated from the ground up, and motion capture was used for animation within cutscenes. In the developmental process, 343 Industries decided to explore the Forerunner fiction within the Halo universe, leading the team to design a new setting, enemies, and main antagonist.
