Seemingly out of nowhere, 343 Industries just dropped new Halo Infinite details ahead of the game's expected 2021 release. Much of the new information regarding the upcoming AAA shooter revolves around the multiplayer component of the game. In particular, about how Halo Infinite will have cross-play and cross-progression across the Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, as well as the PC. What's New for Halo Infinite? In case you missed it, Halo Infinite's multiplayer will be completely free-to-play.
Halo Infinite is the highly anticipated "spiritual reboot" of the Xbox-exclusive Halo franchise. This means that even newer players will be able to get in on the action without having to acquaint themselves with everything that has happened prior.
To better cater to the tastes of today's gamers, Halo Infinite will reportedly have an open-world environment. Halo Infinite will also have more movement options such as a new grappling hook for the protagonist, Master Chief, and many more.
With that said, fans are eagerly awaiting more news about Halo Infinite as its expected Autumn 2021 release date draws closer.
Xbox Game Studios Head Matt Booty recently talked about Halo Infinite in an official blog post on Xbox Wire. In particular, Booty mentioned that multiplayer customization and progress will translate across multiple platforms in Halo Infinite. This is great news. After all, Halo Infinite's multiplayer component will be free-to-play. This effort is also in line with the recent updates to Halo: The Master Chief Collection. The anthology received cross-platform multiplayer support following its launch on the Xbox Series X.
