Trivia

The Reclaimer Saga is the first set of games to introduce the Prometheans, artificial intelligences made by the Forerunners.
The Reclaimer Saga was originally known as the Reclaimer Trilogy. However, according to Microsoft's Phil Spencer, Microsoft "expanded this to more of a saga, so we don't want to limit the Reclaimer story within a trilogy."^[9]
The Halo 4 Limited Edition says "The Reclaimer Saga Begins" on the back of the sleeve.
