We've been waiting a long time for this, having been teased with a handful of previews for the last couple months. This is no preview, today, but rather the full debut episode of the exciting web series. In today's episode...

Halo Waypoint

Thomas Lasky came to Corbulo Academy of Military Science with his mother and brother’s impressive military careers hanging over his head. Haunted by ghosts from his past, he has serious doubts about the war he’s expected to fight.

As fellow cadet Chyler Silva tries to help him find his place at the academy, tensions with other squad members approach the breaking point.

Check out the first episode of Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn and stay tuned every Friday to watch the rest of the story unfold! 

Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn is set to debut in October, but 343 Industries has been releasing a series of short clips giving fans a preview of what they can expect on October 5th.

It's definitely starting to look like the four-part web series is going to add a layer of depth to Halo never before seen, fleshing out the game world and giving life to the Spartan soldiers we've come to take for granted. In today's short, entitled 'Cryo', two cadets get ready for their first-hand training with cryo-sleep.

At the Corbulo Academy of Military Science, cadets receive first-hand training with cryo-sleep, a technology necessary for deep-space travel to other worlds. But for one cadet, trying to get normal sleep the night before his first experience with cryo proves difficult when his head is filled with stories from his very creative room-mate.

Forward Unto Dawn tells the story of the beginning of the Human-Covenant war, when Master Chief inspired a young cadet who would ultimately go on to become a leader aboard the UNSC Infinity.
