Get ready for the sixth installment in the infamous Halo Series – Halo Infinite. Hitting our gaming libraries on the 8th of December 2021, the future of Zeta Halo and humanity rests in your hands.
Campaign Gameplay
The Halo Infinite campaign follows the events of Halo 5: Guardians. Taking place three years after Cortana’s takeover, you’re tasked with eradicating all the Banished forces on Zeta Halo, who are currently heading straight towards Earth.
Harness Master Chief’s infamous abilities and arsenal of weaponry as you take down War Chief Escharum and navigate through countless missions stationed on Zeta Halo. The expansive open-world map has been split into sections which you can unlock as you progress through the campaign. As you explore different biomes, from murky swamps to dangerous deadlands, you’ll experience brand-new encounters, weather, and even a day/night cycle. All of which intelligently alter both the location and behavior of your enemies. You’ll never know what’s waiting for you around the corner!
To play the Halo Infinite campaign, you’ll need to purchase the campaign DLC pack (sold separately). With this, you’ll be able to team up with three friends and take down the Banished forces as one unified squad!
