At the moment, the Halo-themed series has not received any clear info about the story, the major character or the way it is linked to the video games in the franchise.
Microsoft has not offered any sort of details on the project and has simply issued a statement which states, "343 Industries, Xbox Entertainment Studios and Scott Free Productions are currently working on a Halo digital feature project to be released later this year."
It adds, "The project will be executive produced by Ridley Scott and Scott Free TV president, David Zucker. Sergio Mimica-Gezzan will direct."
Original entertainment experiences are set to be released on the Xbox One home console starting in June and the company has created an interesting line-up, which includes straight up drama, comedies, some stand-up, documentaries and reality shows.
