Microsoft has released a slick new trailer for Halo: Nightfall, the upcoming live-action series produced by Alien and Gladiator director Ridley Scott.

The trailer shows off protagonist Agent Locke (played by Mike Colter), who is not only the focus of Nightfall, but also plays a major role in 2015 Xbox One game Halo 5: Guardians.

The first episode in Nightfall, which is directed by Battlestar Galactica‘s Sergio Mimica-Gezzan, will be shown during the HaloFest live-stream event on the evening of November 10.

The rest of the series will debut later. You can get access to the entire Nightfall series by buying Halo: The Master Chief Collection, which launches on November 11.
