VIDEO Watch the stunning intro for Halo 5 Guardians

Halo 5 is coming, and judging by this intro it's going to be one cinematic game.

Here's the opening video to the new game.

The biggest deal right now is NATHAN FILLION! The Firefly and Castle TV star is right there in all his mo-capped glory, honestly looking a little more svelte than he does in real life. Otherwise this is looking like quite a different Halo game, thanks to the squad-based action and the lack of a little someone called Master Chief.

Not that he's really missed - with a massive action scene unfolding in a single swooping shot it's clear this fire team has what it takes to bring down enemies of all sizes. There's a feeling here not unlike what we get when The Avengers finally assembled in Joss Whedon's 2012 epic blockbuster, and that's a very good thing indeed.

Halo 5 Guardians is all about a whole team of Spartan soldiers who have to work together to locate the missing Master Chief in the biggest Halo adventure yet made.

It's set to arrive exclusively on Xbox One on the 27th of October 2015.
