"The mission has changed. They always do".
Microsoft reiterated that Halo Infinite will launch “with no barriers” across Xbox consoles and PC, with free-to-play multiplayer across all platforms. On Xbox Series X, multiplayer will run at 120-frames-per-second. The free multiplayer and paid campaign mode, which is included in Xbox Game Pass, will launch later in 2021.
During the Xbox and Bethesda E3 Showcase, we got a glimpse of a cinematic moment from the campaign.
“The heart of Halo is Spartan-117, the Master Chief,” said Microsoft to set the scene. “In the next chapter, he faces his toughest challenge yet, but you’re not alone in the fight.”
After flying through space and retrieving his weapon, Master Chief encounters an AI, but it’s not Cortana.
“What happened, where is Cortana?” asks Master Chief. “The rogue AI known as Cortana is gone. She has been deleted,” said a new AI created to imitate Cortana. For some reason her deletion routine didn’t go ahead at the conclusion of their mission and now the Chief wants to know why.
“The mission has changed. They always do”.
We also saw our first look at multiplayer gameplay, which you can watch below.
Halo Infinite heads to Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S & X and Xbox Cloud Gaming later this year, part of Xbox Game Pass.
