Halo: Nightfall gets a foreboding trailer and images at SDCC 2014

There’s a lot of cool stuff happening at San Diego Comic Con right now. High on that list, for me at least, was 343 Industries and Scott Free Productions unveiling footage of the upcoming live-action mini-series, Halo: Nightfall. Set between the Halo 4 and Halo 5 video games, the series follows the story of ONI agent, Jameson Locke (played by Mike Colter) as they investigate the existence of an “element” that specifically targets and kills humans. Check out the first look footage that was shown at SDCC:

Locke is set to take a starring role in Halo 5: Guardians when it is released on Xbox One in 2015, but it looks like he’s going to have to go through a lot before that even happens, and it looks like they’ll be doing it, naturally, on a Halo ring. 343 Industries and Scott Free Productions also released a number of images from the mini-series to accompany their announcement, and it’s easy to tell that the legendary Ridley Scott is involved with this production.

Halo: Nightfall is going to be released with the launch of Halo: The Master Chief Collection and will also become available in digital form on November 11th, 2014.
