Since the revelation of the Xbox One, Microsoft had announced its intention to produce a series of original television content to be transmitted through its Xbox 360 platform, Xbox, Windows Phone and PC-arriving to create a branch dedicated solely to these Hollywood productions. The first series was announced the Halo series produced by Steven Spielberg: today have been announced all productions are currently processing, together with the fact that the first "broadcasts" will begin in June, although it is unclear for now if we will be able to enjoy even we Italians, was also in the original language.

First, in the person of the Director of Xbox Entertainment Studios Jordan Levin, wished to clarify that the production of these contents will not affect in any way the company's videogaming commitment: this is a completely separate from the section dedicated to gaming and there is no transfer of funds and resources in favour of one rather than the other. Obviously there are points of contact between the two reality-such as the Halo series is co-produced with 343 Industries-but investment in favor of gaming will not be penalized.

We come now to work series: those we already know are the aforementioned series of Halo, the mysterious "digital production" by Ridley Scott always devoted to Halo and the documentary on legendary landfill excavation where Atari buried all unsold copies of E.T. The extra-terrestrial, successful just yesterday and which you've probably already read.

In addition to these later in the football series production Every Street United , in which Thierry Henry and Edgar Davids will run the main capitals (Italy excluded!) in search of the most gifted talents of street football. Another program will follow the musical festival of Bonnaroo , while very interesting TV series appears Humans , which tells of an alternate reality where humans coexist with human-like robots, using them as servants: Needless to say that this cohabitation quickly proved to be very dangerous. Then there is the series comes from the western-themed paper RPG Deadlands , the stop-motion show Extraordinary Believers , the reality/documentary Fearless that we follow the protagonists of the most dangerous professions in the world, the detective thriller based on the novel by Warren Ellis Machine Gun , and the post-apocalyptic Winterworld that follows the few survivors on a completely frozen Earth.

In the coming months we will know what will be the first productions to be broadcast, and although we enjoy in our country; Meanwhile Microsoft said that in the future even as the Gears of War series, Fables and even Forza Motorsport could be stars of similar productions. We will update you should emerge more news.
