Nightfall (8)

We may be many, many years from ever seeing Halo debut on the big screen, but TV is a whole different matter. Halo: Nightfall fills in that gap as Xbox delivers on its digital entertainment promise this November. San Diego Comic Con is in full swing right now, and it’s provided a first look at the upcoming show that bridges Halo 4 and Halo 5: Guardians. Check it!

Bridging the old and new-gen Halo games, Halo: Nightfall follows Jameson Locke and his team on the planet of Sedra, as the origin story of the legendary manhunter unfold.

Led by Locke, the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) agents are forced to coordinate with a Sedran commander with a remarkable history and deep-rooted mistrust of ONI. As the plot unravels, they’re drawn to an ancient, hellish artifact where they’re forced to fight for their survival, question everything, and ultimately choose between their loyalties and their lives. Agent Locke is a new character in the Halo universe poised to play a major role in Halo 5: Guardians releasing on Xbox One in 2015.

“In science fiction, we’re always searching for new frontiers. We’re drawn to the unknown,” executive producer Ridley Scott said to the Xbox Wire.

With Halo: Nightfall, we’re pioneering a new medium in terms of interactive storytelling on Xbox.  It’s going to be fun for long-time fans to see how the worlds come together with an ambition to attract new fans along the way with what we’ve created.

Well it sure does look pretty. Say what you like about Microsoft, I kinda dig content like this. Also I’m completely biased because I am a Halo fanboy, and yes, I’m looking forward to this after the fun romp that was Halo 4’s Forward Unto Dawn.

    Never played Halo, probably never will unless Sony does a complete 180 on all their policies, also if the WIIU does a complete 180 and only if XBOX doesn’t do another 180. Then I’d buy an XBOX. Unless Halo comes to PC like Dead Rising 3 and Titanfall.

      WHAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTT??????? Never played Halo – easily one of my favourite franchises of all time! One is possibly my favourite game of all time.

      I hereby order you soldier to buy an Xbox One and the collection – eat less if you must!

        Hahahaha I’d rather buy a WIIU to be honest. But like I said, maybe it comes to PC?

          I think one of the games (the first?) is already on PC.
          I played it and it was pretty good.

            It was the one where you unleash and then fight the Flood.

          You can hope for PC version; you can even hope for a Nintendo WiiU version.

          Hope is good…embrace it!

            There is always hope, even if it’s just a false hope.

            It’s like I told my friend wish in one and shit in the other, see which one fills up first.

            but… but… MS said they’re committed to PC gaming! Surely they wouldn’t lie?

    It sounds like it might be interesting, but the visuals are lacking.

    So $60 for Halo: Master Chief edition also gets you access to this 5 part series and access to the Halo 5: Guardians beta? Excellent value for money! ????. Off to pre order…..

    I’ve been waiting for a Halo movie forever now. Does it count as a 180 going from a movie to a tv show?

    Start working at home with Google! It’s by-far the best job I’ve had. Last Wednesday I got a brand new BMW since getting a check for $6474 this – 4 weeks past. I began this 8-months ago and immediately was bringing home at least $77 per hour. I work through this link, go? to tech tab for work detail
