The first Halo Infinite update following the departure of creative head, Joseph Staten, as part of the game's fourth season. In its most recent announcement, 343 Industries confirmed the Season 4 update will bring back a fan-favorite game mode when it arrives next month. Alongside this exciting addition, this update will also bring in a long-awaited classic multiplayer mode, which should offer a nostalgic experience for Halo enthusiasts.
The introduction of Infection mode marks a step forward for Halo Infinite although one might wonder if it's a little too late. The said mode first appeared in Halo 3 and has become one of the most well-loved modes in the series since. The premise is simple - a small group of infected players hunts those who are un-infected. Each victim that dies adds to the tally of the infected and the goal is for the un-infected to survive and run out the clock.
Even if it's late to the party, the addition of a new mode should bring more thrills and suspense to Halo Infinite.
If nothing else, the arrival of the mode nearly two years after the game's launch proves 343's commitment to continuously enhancing the Halo experience despite the dwindling player base.
