Microsoft has just released the first episode of its Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn live action web series, showing off a series of events that will lead up to the start of Halo 4's actual story.
Halo 4 is out this November and kicks off a new trilogy in the long running first-person shooter series, bringing a wide variety of new adventures for the protagonist, Master Chief.
In order to lead up into the beginning of Halo 4, Microsoft confirmed earlier this year that a special live action web series called Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn would be released shortly before the launch of the game.
Now, the first episode has just been posted onto YouTube, introducing the story of a group of cadets that are undergoing training at the UNSC military academy.
Check out the impressive 20-minute first episode above and expect new installments every week until November 6, when Halo 4 is officially released.
