Exploring Video Game Universes Through Novelizations

The narratives of video games have long ceased to be limited by the limits of a screen — rather, they extend to pages of novelizations and new opportunities to explore the complex universe. Novels for fans find the echoes with some of the most favored PC game titles, from placed in outer space strategically “Halo” to demons-infested “Diablo” fantasy world.

One of the first to attract attention was “Halo: Contact Harvest,” which described the conflicts, developments, and the lives of some on Harvest. These tales were suitable because they told more about the protagonist, bringing it to pages in detail and working through its history as fully as possible. The place of action of the book also increased interest in the work. The story tells how a galaxy-stricken by war began, preparing and revealing the backdrop of this landmark event. Another one is the “Diablo: The Sin War” trilogy that follows the struggles of “pitted forces thousands of years old against each other.” The tales provide more background about fractions, characters, and unfinished sub-stories. It seems vital to read these books for any fan who wants to fully unfold and experience the gaming universe.
