- HALO
INFINITE
Release date: To be confirmed
Halo Infinite is the only game I can safely say
will ship alongside the new consoles. It’s
slated as an Xbox Series X (go.pcworld.
com/xbxs) launch title in November. While
Halo Infinite will also appear on the Xbox
One it’s really
Microsoft’s
poster child
for next-gen.
And it sounds
like an
ambitious
sequel, far
more so than
Halo 4 and 5.
Developer
343 Industries
is reputedly
ditching the
old formula, adding in RPG mechanics and
telling IGN (go.pcworld.com/sprb) it’s a
“spiritual reboot” of what’s traditionally been
a straightforward shooter series.
Best of all: It’s the first Halo to debut
day-and-date on PC ever. Hopefully they
picked a good one to do it with.16.17.
