The development team at 343 Industries and publisher Microsoft are delivering yet another trailer for the upcoming Halo 2: Anniversary edition, which will be offered in the new Halo: The Master Chief Collection, and the footage is designed to show off the improved cinematics of the game and how they use the power of the Xbox One to bring the universe to life.

The official announcement on the Xbox Wire states that “These were created and put together by our friends at Blur Studios, one of the most talented visual effects companies in the world. You may not know the name, but you’ve undoubtedly seen their amazing work in world-class video game trailers for everything from the Star Wars series to the Batman: Arkham games.”

The studio has aimed to stay true to the themes of the game while making sure that visually the cutscenes can appeal to modern gamers.

Halo 2 was first launched ten years ago, and since then, the industry has progressed a lot when it comes to the quality of graphics.

343 Industries is allowing all those who are playing the Anniversary edition of the shooter to switch between the classic look and the modern one in order to see the differences, regardless of whether they are watching a cutscene or actively taking out enemies.

Get ready for the first look at the Halo 5: Guardians multiplayer

In order to celebrate the launch of Halo: The Master Chief Collection, 343 Industries and Microsoft are organizing a large set of events called HaloFest all through next week.

The highlight is clearly the reveal of the multiplayer side of Halo 5: Guardians, which is set to take place on November 10, when top eSports professionals will play it with a live audience, with the footage also being streamed to the wider fan base.

All those who get the Master Chief Collection will be able to get a code that allows them to enter the beta period, which will be introduced on December 29 of this year.

Guardians is expected to arrive on the Xbox One at some point in late 2015, and so far the development team has not offered any details on the story or on the main changes that are being made to the mechanics of the classic first-person shooter series.

This fall, gamers can also explore the new Halo Nightfall live action series, which has been created under the supervision of Ridley Scott.
