Halo Infinite’s store page overview says a lot: “The legendary Halo series returns with the most expansive Master Chief story yet. Campaign: when all hope is lost and humanity’s fate hangs in the balance; the Master Chief is ready to confront the most ruthless foe he’s ever faced. Similar to Forza Horizon 5, Microsoft is going to celebrate the release of its game.

 

Begin anew and step inside the armour of humanity’s greatest hero to experience an epic adventure and finally explore the scale of the Halo ring itself.

Multiplayer: Halo’s celebrated multiplayer returns! More information coming later this year (requires Xbox Live Gold on console, membership sold separately). Forge: Halo’s epic content creation tool is back and more powerful than ever. More information coming later this year.

Cross-generation gaming: Halo Infinite provides a fantastic experience across the Xbox One and the newer family of consoles and PC. And, on Xbox Series X as well as supported PCs, enjoy enhanced features like up to 4K resolution at 60 FPS in the campaign and significantly reduced load times creating seamless gameplay that usher in the next generation of gaming,” 343 Industries wrote. It’s funny how they didn’t say much about the multiplayer and the Forge components of the return of Halo. Also, the multiplayer will be free-to-play, so requiring Gold is somewhat weird.

But that’s not all. Microsoft is going to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Halo by releasing two products. First, there will be a Halo Infinite limited edition Xbox Series X (550 USD), and second, the Redmond-based company will also have a limited edition Elite Series 2 controller for 200 USD. Both of them will be available from November 15.

However, the game itself is coming a bit later than that. Halo Infinite’s release date is set to be December 8 on Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC (Steam, Microsoft Store). Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Cloud Gaming will also be available.
