Microsoft will release ‘Halo Infinite’ alongside the new Xbox

One game that’s sure to take advantage of Microsoft’s upcoming next-generation console will be Halo Infinite. This game was first teased by the company back at E3 2018 and it appears to be an open-world version of Halo. And now we know it’ll launch alongside the Project Scarlett console. And it’ll be available on the Xbox One and PC then as well. The new teaser trailer above shows Master Chief being brought back to life. According to 343 Industries, Halo Infinite is considered a “spiritual reboot” of Halo, complete with new characters. But at its heart, it’s still Master Chief’s story. At the same time, though, the story is a good starting point for new players. It builds on the story from Halo 5, and it contains adventures that led up to this moment.

Halo Infinite is made with the new Slipspace Engine, which 343 Industries built specifically for this game and future Halo games. This teaser is a first look at what we can expect.

‘Halo 5: Forge’ comes to Windows 10 on September 8

Microsoft and 343 Industries have announced the release date for Halo 5: Forge on Windows 10: September 8. This game puts the focus on playing multiplayer matches (no single-player campaign here) mostly on custom maps made on the PC or the Xbox One. And with its release on Windows, it gives you more leeway to use more powerful hardware. The game allows for 4K displays and has an interface that takes advantage of finer-grained mouse and keyboard controls.

Launching alongside Forge is the Anvil’s Legacy Halo 5: Guardians update, which syncs Xbox One owners with this release. It’ll let you play Forge maps made by Windows creators as well as get two new maps (one for Arena mode and one for Warzone), new skins, weapons, and attachments.
