Halo: Nightfall becomes a feature-length digital release on March 17

Several folks have notified me of this over the past week. Due to the plumbing issues and then Toy Fair this past weekend, I’m only just now getting to post about this. Thanks to all who sent me info/links for this.

The following is a reblog from polygon.com.

Halo: Nightfall, the Xbox live-action series set between the events of Halo 4 and Halo 5: Guardians, will launch digitally on March 17, according to a trailer released by Microsoft ahead of the digital launch.

The Ridley Scott-produced series of episodes is being combined into a single, feature-length release that will be made available to rent or buy from video-on-demand services and on DVD and Blu-ray.

Halo: Nightfall tells the origin story of Jameson Locke, a “a legendary manhunter and agent with the Office of Naval Intelligence.” Locke is also the playable co-star of next year’s Halo 5: Guardians and will be played by actor Mike Colter.

SPOILER: Leaked cutscene from Opening Cinematic of Halo 2 Anniversary

I’d like to thank once again my friend Rythmic Warrior for passing on the link to this for me.

If you’ve watched the “Remaking of a Legend” video, and/or have read about Nightfall at all, this really isn’t a spoiler. If you haven’t though, then this will be a little spoiler for you, so watch at your own risk.

Regarding where the leak came from, this from Kotaku: The scene supposedly leaked during a Twitch streamer’s broadcast of the game when he selected Halo 2 Anniversary‘s “The Heretic” campaign map.
