Get ready for the sixth installment in the infamous Halo Series – Halo Infinite. Scheduled to be launched on the 8th of December 2021, the future of Zeta Halo and humanity rests in your hands.
What journey will you embark on in the Campaign Mode?
The incredible Halo Infinite campaign is set to follow the events of Halo 5: Guardians. Three years after Cortana’s takeover, your mission is to battle the Banished forces on Zeta Halo that are headed for Earth, alongside uncovering the mystery surrounding Cortana and The Weapon. Play as the infamous, Master Chief, to take down War Chief Escharum and navigate through the various missions on Zeta Halo. Featuring an iconic open world, the map is now split into sections that unlock as you progress through the campaign. Venture through different biomes, such as swamps or deadlands, then encounter new weather and a day/night cycle. All of which alter your enemies’ behaviours and locations. You’ll never know what’s waiting for you around the corner.
