If you want to get excited for the newest Halo installment, the trailer above should do the job.

Microsoft today released the “Halo 5 Launch Gameplay Trailer,” which features nearly 3-minutes of Halo 5 gameplay and cut scenes. The clip, which uses a 2006 song from Muse, doesn’t reveal too much about the Halo 5 storyline, but does hint at what Microsoft and 343 Industries are calling “the greatest hunt in gaming history.”

Halo 5, set for release on Oct. 27, will be the third Halo installment from Kirkland-based and Microsoft-owned 343 Industries, which also developed Halo 4 and Halo: The Master Chief Collection after taking over the franchise from Bungie in 2007.

Halo 5 will be exclusive to Xbox One, likely forcing Xbox 360 owners to upgrade to the latest Microsoft console. Microsoft started taking pre-orders for the game in December.
