Halo fans need only view the trailer themselves to see that many of the concerns from the campaign’s first full gameplay reveal back in July of 2020 have largely been addressed, as an assortment of stunning, in-engine vistas sporting atmospheric lighting and highly detailed environments, characters and weapons are all shown off. Naturally, Master Chief’s mission will ultimately steer him into a direct crash course with Atriox, who is hell bent on sealing his dominance of Zeta Halo by facing Master Chief in a one-on-one battle to the death (if his forces do not kill the Spartan first). Joined by a new human ally referred to in Microsoft’s marketing simply as “The Pilot” and a new AI referred to as “The Weapon” (who happens to bear more than a striking resemblance to his former companion, Cortana), Master Chief must somehow locate Cortana and unite the two AI constructs so that “The Weapon” can secure and lock the rogue Cortana down. The trailer re-establishes what we already knew from last year’s Halo Infinite reveals humanity has been “defeated” by the Banished, a Brute-dominated, splinter off-shoot of the Covenant led by a Brute named Atriox, and that the faction is hunting down the last remnants of the UNSC that remains on Zeta Halo, the ringworld on which Halo Infinite is set. At long last, Halo fans have been given their first glimpse at what 343i proudly refers to as “the new era of Halo”.


After a long wait of over a year, Micrososft developer 343 Industries has finally deemed the Halo Infinite campaign is finally ready for it’s second closeup.Īpparently, the team couldn’t wait a second longer to share the fruits of its hard work with fans as the official “Campaign Overview” was announced only last night by Microsoft and released on YouTube at 9 AM this morning, but thankfully, early risers were rewarded with a generously informative and visually stunning 60fps trailer that more than made up for the last-minute warning.
