Halo Infinite is the latest installment of the blockbuster Halo franchise and is a sci-fi action/adventure game developed by 343 Studios for the Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. In a time ruled by anti-heroes and doubt, Halo Infinite signals the triumphant return of true heroism. For the first time in half a decade, fans are invited to step into The Master Chief’s legendary Mjolnir armor and #Become.
But not every hero in the Halo universe is a seven-foot-tall Super Solider. The UNSC Archives, from 215 McCann, is a series of three short films–directed by Isaiah Seret of Biscuit Filmworks–that takes us to pockets of the Halo universe we’ve never seen before, to tell the stories of the humanity and heroism behind the origin of specific pieces of the Master Chief’s armor.
This film, Unspoken, is the story of an injured soldier’s message of hope and brotherhood to his fallen comrade’s parents after an attack left him unable to deliver that message with his own voice.
The new series of films–with visual effects by Method Studios–will be featured on Xbox social and digital channels and set the path for the Become campaign supporting the December 8, 2021 launch of Halo Infinite.

This trailer promotes Charge Around The Globe, a new adventure docuseries that follows record-breaking traveler Lexie Limitless on an extraordinary journey to circumnavigate the globe in an electric vehicle--traveling over 30,000 kilometers across six continents, all in pursuit of one world record. The three-part series on Prime Video in the U.K. showcases the capabilities of modern electric vehicles while immersing viewers in the numerous experiences and challenges Lexie encounters throughout her journey. As she navigates various challenges throughout her trip, Charge Around the Globe serves as a testament to the spirit of exploration. Ford, Wieden+Kennedy London and WracK teamed on the series.
The documentary aims to address the primary concern hindering many consumers from transitioning to electric: doubts about the range and capability of electric vehicles.

Now, in 2024, we get to see Lexie, the youngest person to visit every country in the world, take to the wheel of the electric Ford Explorer, reinventing that historic journey for a new generation. Along the way, she meets extraordinary people, navigates difficult terrains, and faces the challenges of a constantly evolving charging infrastructure that puts her to the test.
“Charge Around The Globe has been the ultimate test drive for our new electric Ford Explorer. We took on every kind of weather and road condition and dealt with just about every charging scenario. The journey embodies the true... Read More
