The trailer was first shown at [[Microsoft]]'s [[Electronic Entertainment Expo|E3 Media Briefing]] on [[2011|June 6th, 2011]]. It depicts [[Cortana]] hastily awakening [[John-117]] from [[Cryo-chamber|cryo-sleep]] on the aft half of the {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}}, followed by John securing Cortana's [[Data crystal chip|storage chip]] and rushing through the wreckage to witness the ship being pulled into a [[Requiem|mysterious object]].

''The brain awakens, and the camera rapidly zooms out to show John-117 inside of his [[cryo-chamber]]. His helmet's [[flashlight]]s activate, and he slightly moves his head back and forth.''

''John and Cortana turn to see the {{UNSCship|Forward Unto Dawn}} exploding and collapsing. John stows Cortana's [[Data crystal chip|chip]] in his helmet, and pushes off the holotank to speed down the hallway. Taking advantage of the microgravity, he uses a pair of thrusters on his armor to maneuver through the girders and debris in the imploding hallway. He grabs a [[M363 Remote Projectile Detonator|sticky detonator]] and blasts a piece of debris out of the way, and stops his movement by grabbing a protruding girder. His boots magnetize themselves to the ship's hull. Now standing on the edge of the ''Forward Unto Dawn'', John reloads his pistol and stares out into space. The camera turns to show the ''Dawn'' being pulled into an enormous iris-like opening on the Forerunner [[shield world]], Requiem.''

*John-117's armor lacks a codpiece, which led to a great deal of confusion and even uproar among fans. The codpiece was actually present on the contemporary in-game model, though an older version was used for reference when the trailer was made.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP2gSLNzKSc&feature=related '''Halo Fest 2011''' - ''Halo 4 Discussion Part 1'']</ref> The codpiece is present in the final game.

*Cortana can be heard crying ''"Wake up, John!"'' and ''"I need you!"'' to John while the latter is still in cryo-sleep. This is a reference to the final line of ''[[Halo 3]]'', when John tells Cortana, ''"Wake me. When you need me."''

*There is also a "Director's Cut" version of the trailer. This version of the ''Awakening'' trailer, which was released during GamesCom 2011, features a few changes from the original version. The background melody is different from original video, and continues until the end of the trailer. When John reaches the holotank, he does not speak to Cortana. Near the end of the trailer, he throws away his sticky detonator away rather than reloading it.<ref>[http://youtu.be/zI5k1ntGq9w '''YouTube''': ''Halo 4 Teaser Trailer'' (Director's Cut)]</ref>
