The new episode, "Critical Condition," is the third in the series (listen to the first two here). In it, fictional investigative reporter Ben Giraud (voiced by actor Keegan-Micahel Key) speaks with a retired military officer living now on Castallaneta, a beach resort on one of Saturn's rings.

There are also interviews with other people who knew the Master Chief/John-117, each offering conflicting reports about his upbringing. Here's the synopsis for the episode:

"Conversations with retired military paint very different pictures of John. More questions arise about John’s home planet and his involvement in a violent training incident. The cracks in the official account widen, and Benjamin is drawn in."

You can listen to the episode via the SoundCloud embed below. The series is also available on iTunes.

Halo 5 launches October 27 exclusively for Xbox One. Recently, producer Josh Holmes recently confirmed that the game will use dedicated servers for all multiplayer, including custom games.
