Xbox Unveils Life-Size Warthog at 20th Century Studios’ “Free Guy” World Premiere
To bring the iconic transport vehicle to our universe, Hoonigan Industries, the leading lifestyle motorsport brand, worked closely with the team at Halo and 343 Industries to develop this special project-built Warthog, solely using hi-res images and renders from Halo Infinite, launching this holiday season. The vehicle features a body, interior, switchgear, and accessories that were all hand-crafted and fabricated with intricate detail at Hoonigan Industries. Not only does it look like it could carry the Master Chief into battle, but it also runs like it! Standing tall on 43-inch tires and custom 20-inch wheels, the Warthog is fully functional and off-road tested featuring a 1000+ horsepower, twin turbo small block Ford V8, the same engine that powers Ken Block’s Ford Mustang Hoonicorn V2.
Additionally, Ryan Reynolds announced the winner of the Xbox Game Pass Non-Player Character Awards as Doom’s Samuel Hayden — a high ranking UAC official who may or may not be entirely machine at this point.
