Her dynamic with Master Chief should be interesting to see. The Weapon is also an interesting introduction- an AI that is clearly based off of Cortana in more ways than one, but is much more naive and childlike. There’s the aforementioned Pilot, of course, who can bring something a more human element to the story, which isn’t something that we see too often from side characters in Halo. Beyond them, plenty of other interesting characters have been revealed so far as well. Master Chief is, of course, going to be front and center in Halo Infinite, and it goes without saying that Cortana and the Created are going to have a big role to play in the story as well. With the help of allies such as a human pilot (whose name hasn’t yet been revealed) and a new AI known as The Weapon, Master Chief will have to fight back against the Banished and figure out what the hell is going on with Cortana at the same time. Now, the Halo Ring is under the control of the Banished, who’re led by War Chief Escharum. Shortly before the beginning of Halo Infinite, the UNSC loses a big battle against the Banished, a splinter group of former Covenant forces that first featured as an antagonist in Halo Wars 2. It is set about three years after the events of Halo 5: Guardians, and is set on the mysterious Zeta Halo, one of the ringworlds of the Halo Array that also has a very rich history of its own. The one area that 343 Industries’ Halo games have consistently struggled with is the story, but with 343 Industries promising that Halo Infinite’s narrative will avoid needless complications and focus on the Master Chief, the hope is that it’s going to tell a good, compelling story. Here, we’ll be taking a look at some key details you should know about the game. Its release is soon approaching, and by this point, we know plenty about both how its campaign and its multiplayer are going to work (and we’re likely going to learn even more in the coming weeks). Promising the definitive and biggest experience in Halo history and being touted as a spiritual reboot, Halo Infinite needs to be a much-needed win for the series.

It’s fair to say that the series has routinely fallen short of those expectations ever since Bungie handed over the reins to 343 Industries, and that’s exactly why there’s so much riding on Halo Infinite. As one of the biggest and most recognizable gaming franchises around, expectations from a new Halo game are always going to be sky high.
