I haven’t played a Halo game in a few years but I know the fan base is still very strong and a TV show or movie was inevitable. Well now we are getting two series based on the popular game franchise; Halo: Nightfall is being executive produced by Ridley Scott, and will serve as a lead-up to the Halo 5: Guardians game. Then there is the long awaited Steven Spielberg series that is still to come.
The first trailer for Nightfall trailer is below for your viewing pleasure; did they capture the spirit of the game? Probably not, but they used similar weapons and terminology so that must please a lot of people.
Here is the official synopsis:
Taking place between the events of Halo 4 and Halo 5: Guardians, Halo:Nightfall follows the origin story of legendary manhunter Jameson Locke (Mike Colter) and his team as they are caught in a horrific terrorist attack while investigating terrorist activity on the distant colony world of Sedra. 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.
The series will be released November 11th 2014 with Halo: The Master Chief Collection for Xbox One.
That sword is why I stopped playing; what a piss off that thing is.
