Get readyHalofans: the new Paramount+ series is almost here!
On Sunday, the streaming service released the official trailer for the original series, which is based on the iconic Xbox franchise, during the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Cincinnati Bengals AFC Championship Game.
The new action-packed trailer follows Master Chief, Spartan-117 (Pablo Schreiber), Spartan super-soldiers creator Dr. Halsey (Natascha McElhone), and the most advanced AI in human history Cortana (Jen Taylor) as they fight an intense 26th-century battle against an alien threat known as the Covenant.
“Covenant forces appear to be excavating some kind of object,” Master Chief is heard saying as a glowing artifact positioned near a stone wall is shown. “When I touched the object, I felt something. I felt different.”
As the stakes grow higher, the group eventually discovers a Halo — the super-weapons that inspired the franchise’s name — as Master Chief calls on Cortana, who could potentially be the key to the survival of the human race.
“Cortana, I’m gonna need you now,” Master Chief says at the end of the dramatic clip. “Find the Halo, win the war.”
