Undoubtedly one of the biggest releases of the year, Halo 5: Guardians is looking nice and maybe a little new. Developer 343 Industries have more or less proven that they live and breathe Halo, keeping the drip of info steady and tasty in the days leading up to release.

The latest entry of the renowned first-person shooter series, Halo 5's story sees a new playable character named Spartan Locke, tasked with find the illustrious Master Chief and unraveling a mystery that threatens the galaxy. Hard details are relatively sparse on just what is happening in Halo 5's story though, and rightly so.

The game's opening cinematic below won't shed any light, but it may stir your desire for the game with its slick, single-take action sequence. Halo 5: Guardians launches October 27 for Xbox One.
