'Halo' Digital TV Series From Producer Ridley Scott Entitled 'Halo Nightfall,' Is Similar To 'Halo: Forward Until Dawn'

There are two Halo-related TV series coming from Microsoft's incredibly successful video game series, one of which was given an official title during this year's E3 conference. In regards to the Ridley Scott-produced, digital series, we have a title: Halo Nightfall!

Not to be confused with the Steven Spielberg-produced series announced by Microsoft and the filmmaker last year, Nightfall is said to be on a smaller scale and won't be live-action. The Xbox One's broadcasting feature, Xbox TV, will host the series, which is being compared to Halo: Forward Until Dawn.

The Verge reports:

Nightfall is different from the Steven Spielberg-produced Halo series that Microsoft announced last year. Details are still scarce on that production - Xbox Studios told us recently that the project was in development and it hoped to be making additional announcements soon - though recent reports have the show possibly headed to Showtime as part of a combined distribution deal. Instead, Nightfall appears to be the end result of what Xbox Studios has been referring to up until this point as its Halo "digital feature." While we'll have to wait until the show debuts to see how well integrated it is with the larger Halo mythology, Nightfall appears to represent the first real example of Microsoft leveraging both its gaming and entertainment studios to create one comprehensive, intertwined experience.

Now that E3 is in full swing, we could be finding out more details from this new project, so stay tuned for some updates.
