Taking place between the events of Halo 4 and Halo 5: Guardians, Halo: Nightfall will follow the origin story of Jameson Locke (Mike Colter) and his team as they are caught in a horrific 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. 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.

Halo: Nightfall is included as part of the Halo: The Master Chief Collection and will be accessible digitally on Xbox Live beginning on November 11, 2014.

After viewing the trailer I can safely assure you I am incredibly excited for this show. Even if you didn’t follow the games it looks like something worth watching in a heartbeat. Check out the trailer below:
