Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn official teaser trailer

By Drew Prindle July 3, 2012

The creators of the Halo franchise are gearing up for their upcoming release of Halo 4, with the live action web series Forward Unto Dawn, the first teaser of which recently debuted on Machinima and via Halo Waypoint. While this is surely exciting news for fans of the series, you’re likely to be disappointed by the lack of action in the trailer–but I guess that’s why they call it a teaser. Rather than showing us a jaw-dropping, slow-motion alien gun battle on a foreign planet, all we get in this trailer is a few flashes of empty bullet casings on the floor, some eerie military chanting, and a lackluster climax where Master Chief just turns around. Be sure to check back in the next few days though, as the full official trailer for the series is expected to be released at Comic Con in San Diego on July 12th. The five-part series will debut in October on Machinima’s YouTube channel.

It has been quite the wait, but Halo Infinite's development seems to be going well, despite its recent delay.

Although much of its contents are a mystery, there's still quite a bit we know about Halo Infinite.

Over the past few years, 343 Industries and Microsoft have been cautious about what content is offered to the public. The curtain was pulled back slightly during July's Xbox Games Showcase, which showed off its gameplay debut, but the best look we've gotten of the final product came during their 2021 E3 presentation. Here's everything we know about the next installment of the popular series.
