Halo fans may not have much longer to wait to learn more about Halo Infinite, as Microsoft boss Joseph Staten has teased “glorious” plans for a big reveal this summer.
In a blog post, Staten said he understands people might be growing tired of 343’s lengthy blog posts about Halo Infinite and instead want to see some new footage. Thankfully, this might be right around the corner. “The great news is that Summer i.e., game industry event season, is just around the corner–and there are glorious plans afoot,” he teased.
Microsoft is an official partner for E3 2021’s new digital show, so it might be that this Halo Infinite showcase happens there. It could also take place elsewhere. Whatever the case, summer is quickly approaching so we should know more soon.
Staten also confirmed in the blog post that Halo Infinite is now in the “shutdown and polish phase,” which sounds like it might be one of the final stages of the game’s development.
“I wish all of you could see the incredible work that I have the privilege of playing every day. The same, intense commitment to making a game that you, Halo’s most ardent fans, will love to play, exists all across the team,” Staten said.
New Multiplayer Sounds
The blog post, which mainly focused on Halo Infinite’s PC features, also included a quote from multiplayer designer Patrick Wren. He also alluded to how Halo Infinite’s development is coming to a close, at least on the launch content, going on to tease some new sounds for the multiplayer mode. Wren also teased that Halo Infinite’s multiplayer will have an announcer–actively drafting plans for a Halo Infinite beta test, or a “flight” in the Halo parlance. The Halo Inside program is free and open to everyone, so players should create or update their profile if they want to get in when it releases.
After a delay, Halo Infinite will release this holiday for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. It’s included on Game Pass, while the multiplayer element is free-to-play.
