343 Industries, an off-shoot of Bungee, the company that created the immensely popular Halo series, has released an official first-look trailer of Halo 4, which is slated for release this 2012 holiday season. While the trailer doesn’t delve too much into the story, the behind-the-scenes footage gives gamers an idea of what they can expect.
The developers speak about a variety of topics, including staying true to the iconic franchise while adding new elements, building the game from scratch, and new multiplayer maps. Possibly the most intriguing aspect of the trailer is how the development team notes that Halo 4 will focus on the character development of Master Chief, the protagonist of the series.
Details are seldom revealed about the veiled hero, so Halo 4 will mark the first time the series truly explores the man behind the mask. Check the out the trailer, and the hands-on gameplay preview from G4 Games below!
