The Arbiter will now be playable in two fighting games

The Arbiter from the Halo franchise seems to be a perfect character for fighting games. Recently, Blue Mammoth Games announced the crossover between Brawlhalla and Halo that features Master Chief and The Arbiter. 

With this recent news it had us thinking, The Arbiter is now in two fighting games and neither of them are Super Smash Bros. or Mortal Kombat. 

The Brawlhalla crossover is one that came unexpected, but still really neat to see The Arbiter in a platform fighting game. Arbiter is an Epic Crossover for Sidra, and uses the Fuel Rod Cannon and Energy Sword to fight off his enemies.

You can play as The Arbiter in Brawlhalla on July 12, 2023.

In 2016, Arbiter came to Killer Instinct as a brand new guest character in Season 3. This one was not as surprising since Killer Instinct is part of Xbox Game Studios. 

Microsoft and 343 Industries seems to like putting The Arbiter in other games as part of crossovers, but we haven’t been able to play as the iconic elite alien warrior in a Halo game since Halo 3 which released in 2007. Yes, he made an appearance in Halo 5: Guardians and fights with you, but you can’t play as him.
