Halo Infinite is being
developed by 343 Industries using the new Slipspace Engine. According to
Microsoft, Master Chief returns in Halo Infinite with "his greatest
adventure yet to save humanity” The story had entered planning stages in 2015.
An announcement trailer was released on June 10th, 2018. The developer said that
all of the scenes in the Halo Infinite trailer were running in the engine.
Halo Infinite will feature
split screen again, in response to the backlash of its removal in the previous
game. It will also have a beta prior to its release, described as an insider
flight program.
The Halo series is making a
grand return with the upcoming Halo Infinite, which is currently slated for
2020. This will be the sixth main entry into the Halo series and the first main
Halo game since 2017. Additionally, it will likely be a launch title for the
next generation Xbox console. Although, it will also be released on the Xbox
One.
Halo Infinite will continue
the story of Master Chief and will follow the events of Halo 5 Guardians. A lot
of Halo fans were disappointed that Halo 5 didn’t focus on the Master Chief
story very much, so developers have made sure to give fans what they want in
Halo Infinite.
Unfortunately, this is really all we know about it at the
moment, but more information will come to light as we get closer to the end of
2020.
