'Halo: Nightfall' Trailer Revealed: Series Release Date, Cast & Plot Here

"Halo: Nightfall," the live-action digital series, is coming to Xbox TV beginning November 11.

Microsoft Xbox has recently released the full-length trailer of the new miniseries and both gamers as well as TV viewers saw the potential of "Halo: Nightfall," observes Forbes.

Ridley Scott is the executive producer of the digital miniseries that takes off from his pioneering futuristic gothic horror sci-fi genre, which he showcased in the "Alien" movie series and "Prometheus" lately, notes Coming Soon.net.

Plot and Cast

The Verge details that "Halo: Nightfall" is centered on Agent Jameson Locke and his investigation into a biological weapon that affects only humans.

Agent Locke is a surgically-enhanced super soldier who is the premier force to reckon with in a futuristic Spartan army. When he felt disturbed about the military industrial complex where he is a part of, that's when he began his investigation, further explains Coming Soon.net.

For those familiar with the Halo video game series on Xbox, Coming Soon.net bares that the story of "Halo: Nightfall" takes place between the events of "Halo 4" and the upcoming "Halo 5: Guardians," where Locke will also play an integral role vis-a-vis the Master Chief.

The series is basically an expanded version of what Microsoft showed at the San Diego Comic Con on July 24 to 27. There is shooting and there are difficult decisions as Agent Locke as he takes on the Covenant, notes Forbes.

A plethora of classic weapons from the video game series are expected to be showcased and seen in the miniseries including an energy sword used by a Covenant soldier, cites The Verge.

Coming Soon.net reveals that Mike Coltier will star in the series as Agent Locke. "Halo: Nightfall" will be directed by Sergio Mimica-Gezan, based on the script written by Paul Scheuring, the creator of "Prison Break."

David Zucker will team up with Ridley Scott as the project's executive producers, added the report.

A Better Follow-Through

"Halo: Nightfall" also comes at the heels of "Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn" webseries, which according to Forbes, "failed to interest anyone besides die hard fans."

"But "Halo:Nightfall" already looks better than "Halo: Forward Unto Dawn," if only for the wise decision to use adult actors and connect the story to the Halo video games," says Forbes.

The first episode of "Halo: Nightfall" will premiere on November 10 as part of the official HaloFest livestream, reports The Verge.

The digital miniseries will also be officially released on Xbox TV via the Halo channel the following day coinciding with the launch of "Halo: The Master Chief Collection" on Xbox One.
