We're super excited about the first action-packed trailer for the upcoming second season of aura – and now there's a new trailer to ramp up the excitement even more ahead of the new series' premiere next week on February 8.
Compared to the first trailer we saw at the beginning of the year and images from a trailer that was released in December, the new trailer is much shorter: it's only one minute long, compared to the two-plus minutes of the trailer that dropped at early this month.
It's a little less epic, but there's new footage of some spectacular-looking aerial battles, as well as plasma shields and swords as The Covenant come for the humans on Reach. And it ends with the choral music from the original game, which never fails to give me goosebumps.
You can see the trailer for the second season of aura below.
Halo Season 2: What we know so far
Pablo Schreiber is back as the Master Chief, John-117, and we expect most of the original cast to reunite with him as the Chief leads his team of Spartan soldiers to fight the Covenant. According to Paramount: “In the wake of a shocking event on a desolate planet, John can't shake the feeling that his war is about to change and risks everything to prove what no one else will believe: that the Covenant is preparing to attack. to the greatest enemies of humanity. strength.” As you can see in the trailers, the Covenant soon proves him right, and that means he has to find the key to saving humanity or destroying it: the Halo.
That's as far as the published plot goes, but it looks like we'll see a race between Covenant and Master Chief to reach and control Halo's ringworld in all its destructive glory. And if the season follows the games, that could mean the arrival of the enemies I hate most in any video game ever created: The Flood. If you're not a Halo player, think about zombies (lots, lots, lots of zombies) and a possible alliance between humans and the Covenant to fight a common enemy.
Speaking to Collider, director Otto Bathurst said that for the second season “we have two main Covenant characters, who you will really get to know and understand, spend time with them and understand what their motives are.” and what they want… you're going to feel a much greater connection to the Covenant, and a couple of the characters we're introducing are fan favorites. So that's going to be good.”
second season of aura will stream on Paramount Plus starting February 8, 2024.
