It’s been three long years since Microsoft released Halo 5: Guardians, so now was the perfect time for the consolemaker to open their Xbox E3 Briefing with a very generalized look at the next game in the series.
Halo Infinite will be the sixth game in the series to star the Master Chief, though Microsoft isn’t quite ready to talk about it just yet. Instead, they unveiled a “Game Engine Demonstration” for 343 Industries’s new Slipspace Engine, which will be used to power the franchise’s creation for the forseeable future.
While there’s a chance that none of what we see will make its way into the final game, the Xbox Wire wants us to focus on what the Slipspace Engine is capable of:
Of course, fans around the world will break down every single frame of the engine demo for more clues on what Halo Infinite could entail. We caught a couple of hidden Easter eggs – can you? 343 Industries stated that the game, art, and tech elements are still in progress and many of the assets and designs will certainly evolve between now and the release of the game; what fans should take away from the engine demo is the promise of the Slipspace Engine and its capabilities in powering “Halo Infinite” and how the story will center on the Master Chief.
Halo Infinite doesn’t currently have a release date, but Microsoft did say that it’s in development for both the Xbox One and the PC.
