343 Industries breaks down the locations featured in the first teaser for Paramount+'s Halo series, revealing the show's settings. The long-awaited television series is based on the hit Xbox sci-fi FPS franchise. The series was announced in 2013, suffering a long period of development hell.

Set in the 26th century, Halo will center on an intergalactic conflict between humanity, which has colonized much of the galaxy, and a theocratic military alliance of numerous alien species known as the Covenant. In the midst of a conflict that sees humanity on the back foot against the Covenant, humanity places its hopes on the shoulders of John-117 (Pablo Schreiber), otherwise known as Master Chief.

Ahead of the show's first full official trailer release, 343 Industries has shared a post breaking down the locations teased in the Game Awards teaser trailer.
