Animation studio Axis Studios has worked with some of the biggest names in the games industry, creating cinematics and animated trailers. Some of its latest work includes the Atriox cinematic that opens up Halo Infinite’s campaign, and today the studio is showcasing more of the work that went into creating the opening scene.

The cutscene shows Master Chief facing off in an impossible battle against Atriox, in the midst of a chaotic battle scene. New concept art released by Axis shows how some of the cutscene’s most pivotal moments were originally conceived, as well as a storyboard that lays out the full scene in a single image.
