Xbox and Halo Twitter accounts have begun teasing what appears to be an upcoming trailer for Halo 5: Guardians.
The Halo Twitter account tweeted the following video (or gif) informing fans that something is “coming August 31”.
Later, Xbox tweeted out another short clip of Spartan Locke putting his helmet on. The caption informing us that Halo 5: Guardians release date is 2 months away, and that a “mission briefing” will begin in 24 hours. 7pm PDT / 10pm EDT August 31st, 2015.

The dormant Halo 5: Guardians Multiplayer Beta for Xbox One randomly updated for some people and it now has new menu art and an amazing new soundtrack sample. Sadly, the updated version doesn’t allow for people to get past this menus screen. Alas, enjoy the music!
3 new Arena Maps were revealed at Gamescom, Coliseum, Plaza, and The Rig. Two Warzone maps were also revealed, Stormbreak and the other is unknown at this point but it’s set in a metropolis like city. We also have screenshots showing the map Eden which was featured in the Beta and now has some changes to it.

Halo: The Fall of Reach – The Animated Series Trailer
Halo 5: Guardians Limited Edition 1TB Xbox One Console, LE Spartan Locke and Master Chief Controllers, and more announced at Gamescom 2015. The console is $500 dollars and comes with a 1TB hard drive and the console has Halo sound effects for when you power on, eject and power off the console.
It includes a digital copy of Halo 5: Guardians and includes Limited Edition content – this includes:
Spartan Themed Steelbook
Guardian Model by Metal Earth
Spartan Locke’s Classified Orders
Dossiers on Blue Team and Fireteam Osiris
The Fall of Reach Animated Series
Warzone REQ Bundle – with 14 Premium REQ packs
FOTUS armor for Halo 5 Guardians
And an exclusive emblem.
Now we’ve been told many times that pre-order bonus digital content is obtainable through regular gameplay progress. However I reached out for confirmation and found out that the emblem from the LE Halo 5 console is exclusive to those who purchase it, but the FOTUS armor can be earned by anyone through the REQ system. Those who buy the console just get it immediately on day 1.
@ChiefCanuck FOTUS can be earned in-game. Emblem is exclusive.
The console bundle also comes with a very cool limited edition Spartan Locke controller. You can also order this separately for $70. The controller comes with its own bonus REQ pack that includes the Resolute Visor.
There’s also a limited edition master chief controller that you can buy separately. It too comes with a bonus REQ pack that includes the Dauntless Visor.
Again, you might be able to unlock these on your own just by trying your luck with the REQ system.
The controllers are set to release early in October and the Limited Edition Halo 5 console will release on October 20th, a week before launch to allow fans time to pre-load the game just like the LCE of the game.
Halo 5: Guardians Arena Gameplay on the new underwater map Fathom first shown briefly at E3 2015 during an interview with Rooster Teeth! This is our first look at Arena gameplay since the changes from the Halo 5 Beta.
What do you guys think of the changes? I definitely noticed the medals and announcements have been toned down.
