That would be the protagonist of the Halo series, Master Chief, riding on top of a giant scorpion as if it was a horse (or maybe a Ghost).

Master Chief is the most recognizable video game character exclusive to Xbox systems, and the scorpion upon which he is riding is a reference to the codename for the Xbox One X: Scorpio.

If you managed to preorder an Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition, just be careful if you want to tear apart your console to see the easter egg, please.
