So far, we know that it will be released sometime in the holidays of 2020. The exact date has not been confirmed, but it will launch alongside the Xbox Series X console. When we know more about the next Xbox we'll hear more concrete details for Halo Infinite's exact release date.

What is the story?

It's hard to understand what's going on in Infinite Halo before its release. What we've seen from 343 Industries so far is that Master Chief has been rescued while drifting through space, and arrives on a new ring. The last Halo game to come before it was Halo 5, and it featured Master Chief on the run from other Spartans as he attempted to locate Cortana. Infinite Halo doesn't seem to follow the same story, and 343 Industries studio manager Chris Lee has told IGN that Infinity will be "the start of our platform for the future."

What are the visuals like and what is the gameplay?

We got a quick rundown of what Infinity gameplay would look like in a demo shown during the Xbox Games Showcase live stream for 2020. Infinite is how the event started. During the live stream, some parts of the game weren't displayed in 4k, and some of the visuals dropped to 720. However, when the game arrived for the Xbox Series X, gamers could expect support. full of Ultra HD 4k and 60 frames per second. . The video Microsoft uploaded after the event is featured below, which gives a much better representation of what the visuals will look like when released.

The gameplay for Infinity seemed to give players a bit more to do in the open world. The demo showed several waypoints for the player to clear and enemies fell along the way. Besides the objectives, the player can choose any route they wish to take to reach their objective. We could see Infinity being a lot more open than previous Halo games and could see something like a live service platform.

Who are the banished?

At the end of the gameplay trailer, there was a cutscene showing a Brute speaking over a hologram. The transmission shown in the trailer was first teased in late June by 343 Industries on their Twitter account, where the Talking Brutes had said they represented The Banished. The Transmission in the Infinite Halo gameplay trailer and the one teased in June are different but performed by the same Brute.

The Outcast were an enemy first seen in Halo Wars 2, and they were the primary antagonist. This is a group of mercenaries made up of Covenant forces and a self-care splinter group formed by Atriox, the game's main antagonist. We can expect them to serve as the main threat. against Master Chief in Infinity, but it's unclear what other dangers await him in the new ring.
