The '''Halo Xbox One announcement trailer''' is a pre-rendered [[trailer]] of the upcoming title, ''[[Halo Xbox One]]''. It features [[John-117]] journeying through a desert on an alien planet and encountering an unknown machine. The trailer was shown at [[Microsoft]]'s [[Electronic Entertainment Expo|E3]] 2013 conference.<ref>[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/detail/111609fe-d53c-4400-b4d6-44ae3629dda3/halo-xbox-one '''Halo Waypoint:''' ''Halo Xbox One'']</ref> The trailer does not assign a number or specific title for the game, as 343 Industries' intention was not to showcase the the next game in particular. Rather it was set to depict a broad idea of John-117's future journey, and let [[Bonnie Ross]] announce that 343 Industries was officially developing a ''Halo'' first-person shooter that would be released in 2014 on Xbox One. Thus, the trailer may not be directly representative of the content of the game.<ref>[http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/06/25/microsoft-on-halo-5-halo-2-anniversary  '''IGN''' ''Microsoft on Halo 5, Halo 2 Anniversary'']</ref>
The '''''Halo'' Xbox One announcement trailer''' is a pre-rendered [[trailer]] announcing the return of the ''[[Halo]]'' franchise on the [[Xbox One]] console in [[2014]].<ref name="H5">[http://news.xbox.com/2014/05/games-halo-journey-announcement '''Xbox Wire''': ''The Halo Journey'']</ref> First shown at [[Microsoft]]'s [[Electronic Entertainment Expo|E3]] 2013 conference, the trailer features [[John-117]] journeying through a desert on an alien planet and encountering a Forerunner [[Guardian]].<ref>[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/detail/111609fe-d53c-4400-b4d6-44ae3629dda3/halo-xbox-one '''Halo Waypoint:''' ''Halo Xbox One'']</ref> Although its content alludes to ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'', set for a fall [[2015]] release, the trailer was not meant to be an announcement for that particular game but rather a broader "journey" set to begin in 2014 with the release of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' and the ''[[Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer Beta]]''. For this reason, the trailer does not assign a specific title or number for the game.{{Ref/Reuse|H5}}<ref>[http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/06/25/microsoft-on-halo-5-halo-2-anniversary  '''IGN''' ''Microsoft on Halo 5, Halo 2 Anniversary'']</ref>

''A cloaked figure trudges through the sandstorm. The shape of a [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II]] [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI|helmet]] is visible under the hood. The edges of the cloak flutter in the breeze as the figure keeps moving forward. There is a long trail of footprints left behind.''

''Finally, the figure reaches some bare rocks and stops. In the distance, a large sharp-edged rocks sticking out of the ground in a manner that evokes the dead, damaged [[Forerunner]] aesthetic. Above them, a large, bare moon sits in the sky.''

''The machine lifts what are now clearly large wings formed of disconnected segments, hovering in an organized pattern. It pulses, sending a shock wave outward that blows back the figure's hood, revealing [[John-117]]. He clutches the chip with resolve and looks upward. The machine's light reflects from his partially cracked visor.''

===Production notes===
*Three versions of this trailer exist:
**The official version revealed at E3 2013, featuring the simple ''Halo'' logo, dubbed ''Halo'' on Xbox One by most official sources.
**The version posted by Axis Animation to their web portfolio, which features different audio mixing, making the background melody more audible, and removing other sound effects, such as the Guardian's bellow.{{Ref/Reuse|axis}}
**The version posted by John Allardice, the director of the trailer, which is identical to the E3 2013 trailer, barring the change of the logo from ''Halo'' to ''Halo 5''.<ref name="axish5">[https://vimeo.com/68040590 '''Vimeo.com''' - ''John Allardice: Halo 5'']</ref>
===Mistakes===
*As the Guardian begins to fully flare its wings out, its eyes aren't glowing. However, in the next jump cut as it pulses, both are glowing their normal yellow hue.
