What We Do In The Shadows, Thor Ragnarok and JoJo Rabbit director Taika Waititi has created a brand new Xbox commercial that reveals the true nature of Xbox’s most iconic mascot: Halo’s Master Chief.
As a part of the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S advertising push Power Your Dreams, the simply launched Lucid Odyssey trailer provides viewers a glance contained in the goals of Twitch steamer MoonLiteWolf following an prolonged play session on Microsoft’s just lately launched next-gen video games console.
As it simply so occurs, MoonLiteWolf’s goals are a tad on the bizarre aspect. The Xbox mascot Master Chief – or John in the event you’re on a primary identify foundation – is proven taking off his Mjolnir helmet to disclose his face because the cutest little kitty cat earlier than diving straight into his secondary career following experimental little one super-soldier: DJing.
“To make this film, Oscar-winning director Taika Waititi used real dreams MoonLiteWolf had after playing the Xbox Series X,” the commercial description reads. “To capture MoonLiteWolf’s dreams, a method known as Targeted Dream Incubation was used. She was guided to a sleep state known as hypnagogia, which was tracked by the Hypnodyne (EEG) headband she was wearing. When she reached this state—known to feel like light sleep and even meditation—she was asked to recall her dreams.”
Of course, Master Chief isn’t actually a cat. Unfortunately, we’ve already seen elements of his unimaginative white soldier boy face in a number of items of Halo media and he doesn’t look something like Blinx the Cat. That might all change with Halo Infinite, however we doubt it ever will.
However, to fill a phrase depend, in the event you take your minds again all the way in which to 2001, Master Chief’s actual face was already revealed as a lot because it wanted to be. Flipping the digicam by way of the surroundings in Halo: Combat Evolved‘s final cutscene shows that underneath Master Chief’s helmet is, you guessed it, one other helmet. Perfection.
Whatever you consider the brand new advert, you’ve bought to confess, Taika Waititi has type.
