Here's the first image of Halo 3: ODST on Xbox One

OMFG.

Microsoft has released the first image of Halo 3: ODST on Xbox One.

Microsoft will add the Halo 3: ODST campaign to Xbox One exclusive first-person shooter Halo: The Master Chief Collection this spring, and it will be free to anyone who played Halo: The Master Chief Collection since its troubled launch on 11th November through to 19th December.

Halo 3: ODST, created by Bungie for release in 2009 to fill the gap between Halo 3 and Halo: Reach, will be upgraded to 1080p resolution and run at 60 frames per second on Xbox One.

Today, Halo developer 343 released the first image of ODST running on Xbox One, below, alongside an image of Halo 2: Anniversary multiplayer map Relic.

ODST will run at 1080p and 60 frames a second on Xbox One.

A new content update for the game is expected in April, 343 chief Dan Ayoub said in a post on Xbox Wire.

"We have an ongoing commitment to our fans to make this experience the best it can be. We want fans playing and enjoying this collection for years, and you'll continue to see improvements to the experience in the coming months to support that goal."

Relic is a Halo 2 map set on a large island on Installation 05.
