We’re back with Machinima Monday and taking a detour from pure machinima, we have a fully animated, cinematic trailer for an upcoming episodic machinima titled ‘Halo Grimfall’. While the trailer is something that is approaching Blur levels of quality, the actual machinima itself is slated to be in Halo 5: Guardians as seen on images from their Instagram page.
‘Halo Grimfall’ sets out to fill in narrative gaps left in the Reclaimer Saga and tell interesting new fan-made stories in episodic form. While we don’t know the extent of animation/machinima mix there may or may not be in the series, you have to admit, the trailer sure gets you hooked. The description provided for the episodic tales from the trailer is below:
A unit of the UNSC’s newest Spartan IVs are forced into an impossible choice when they are ordered to assist in a potentially galaxy changing mission by a shadow organisation not ready for peace.
There’s no release date that has been made available, but as the trailer notes, the group creating the machinima is looking for help. More details about that can be found in the video’s description.
Animation and visuals for the cinematic trailer were done by Oliver Smart with the music composed and provided by The Marcus Hedges Trend Orchestra. You can follow the project’s development over on Twitter and Instagram.
