New Halo Infinite trailer focuses on antagonist Escharum

Dude's intense.

A new Halo Infinite trailer focuses on antagonist Escharum, leader of the Banished.

Spoiler: Escharum is intense.

“Humanity clings to the belief that a savior will come, that a hero will rise, shrouded in armor to save you,” he says in the video.

“It won’t. Armor can be broken. Bodies shattered. When you look back on these last days, you will realise that all you’ve built was a tomb. A place where hope dies.”

Today’s new trailer comes hot on the heels of a single-player campaign reveal offered up earlier in the week. Stevivor’s Ben and Steve discuss that content at length as part of the latest Friendly Fire Show.

Halo Infinite heads to Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S & X and Xbox Cloud Gaming on 8 December, part of Xbox Game Pass. Microsoft has just announced a shiny limited edition Xbox Series X console bundle and Elite Xbox Wireless Controller.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
