Though most of the revelations were regarding the Xbox One, the biggest morsel of news was the announcement that Steven Spielberg will be the executive producer of a live-action Halo TV series.
343 Industries head Bonnie Ross announced that Steven Spielberg will be the executive producer of an original "Halo" live-action television series. "For me, the 'Halo' universe is an amazing opportunity for the intersection" of "mythmaking and technology," Spielberg said via a video. It looks to be called "World of Halo" and will be exclusive to the Xbox ecosystem. [L.A. Times]
A Halo live-action mini-series preceded the release of Halo 4. Halo: Forward Unto Dawn helped build on the success of the franchise and garnered 26 million views over five parts back in 2012.
