It may have taken a few years, but we finally know the real name for The Weapon, Cortana's replacement AI introduced in Halo Infinite. Designed as a clone of Master Chief's former companion, The Weapon has operated under her pseudonym until now.
During this year's Halo World Championship, Jen Taylor, the voice of Cortana and The Weapon, participated in reading passages of upcoming novel Halo: Edge of Dawn by Kelly Gay, with Steve Downes, Master Chief's long-running video game performer. The excerpt revealed the AI's real name: "I am UNSC AI serial number CN0435-0, name designation Joyeuse."
