Template:Ratings Template:Under Construction A Trailer is a short video used to advertise and showcase an upcoming game. A trailer may or may not contain actual footage from the game in question.
Announcement Trailer
An Announcement Trailer is often used by gaming companies to introduce upcoming games to the public. These trailers are often pre-rendered (meaning they do not show actual gameplay footage, but rather a cinematic) and filled with action in order to excite the fans and stimulate those yet to become fans.
Bungie has released Announcement Trailers for Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST and Halo: Reach. Ensemble Studios released an announcement trailer for Halo Wars. The most common choice of where to release these videos is at E3. Note that these trailers are sometimes created in the midst of game development, so, quite often, footage seen in the trailer is modified in the final game, or changed altogether. Because of this, it is sometimes difficult to consider the information in the announcement trailer as canon.
