Halo 5: Guardians does not have an official launch date but that's not stopping the team at Microsoft in charge of the Xbox One home console to use some new footage from the title to promote the device in a new commercial.

The ad starts off with a shot of Agent Locke, one of the main characters in the title, putting on his helmet in a transport ship as he gets ready for deployment, and later gamers will also get a classic shot of the iconic Master Chief visor.

There's no new info for fans of the series, but it's interesting to see that Microsoft is already using Guardians as an incentive for those who might be getting a new home console in the near future.

Battlefield Hardline and the new Tomb Raider are also included in the advert.

Developer 343 Industries has not offered details about the single-player campaign of Halo 5: Guardians, which will offer Agent Locke an important role.

The studio has run a beta test for the multiplayer side, showcasing the new Spartan abilities, and it says that the gathered data will be used to make sure that the title will offer a better experience when it is launched.
