Halo Infinite - E3 2018 - Announcement Trailer (XB1/PC - Sequel to Halo 5)

The name + the engine trailer makes me think they're going open-world. Or at the very least far more open-ended than any previous Halo game. This also falls in line with the rumors that 343 scrapped their plans for continuing this trilogy they were building with 4 and 5. The fact that the game is taking longer to develop would also make sense if they were truly building something bigger for the franchise.

Either way, I'm ready to see more.

Things that didn't have a release date mean at least 2020.

I cannot believe we have Halo 5 and MCC for another 2 years. LOL

HYPED !

I'm reassured about Microsoft now.

Game looks really good. I like the art direction so far and the open world design they seem to be showing.

No date. Won't be shocked if this is a launch title in 2020 for the next xbox. Need a Kotaku article giving us the inside info on why this game isn't coming out this year. Just can't believe they couldn't hit the normal three year cycle. Not going to buy that it's bc they needed time to develop a new engine.

Why not? Shit is expensive. Halo has been iterating on the same engine since Halo 2. Plus it looks like an open-world game or some kind of reimagining of Halo, which obviously exacerbates the length of production.

MGSV was an open-world pivot to a new engine and that took, what, five years? And they didn't even finish that game.

That looked pretty good.

I need more info....please stinkles.

As much as I love the artstyle and what the teaser is saying to us, I really doubt the game will look anywhere near this good, unless it's a next gen game.

I for sure thought MCC was also going to be announced for PC on that gamepass announcement. PC players are going to need to catch up somehow....

Words can't express how happy the art style change makes me.

The trailer definitely gives that vibe of 'this isn't coming out for ages', which is a bit odd considering it's been so long since Halo 5, but it's good that they're taking their time with it. I'm getting the impression this is going to be a pretty big jump for the series, the longer it spends in the oven the better IMO.

Question, though, Sparth has a NEW art style? I was under the impression that the current art style he brought to Halo was similarly/already inspired by the history of the franchise when he joined on Halo 4?

Either way, can't wait to see how it ends up looking (as I assume the tech demo is not reflective of the art style change), and I hope the game is good enough to pull me back to Xbox. I reiterate, Sparth da GAWD.

I love how they had give this new engine a name - Implying that Halo 5 still used the old Blam Engine?

Either way, the rumour was true. Colour me interested!

According to the blog post, 343 has nothing else to show of this game for now and its still a ways out.

So why was this announced so early? It seems like this could've waited until next E3 when there's an actual game to show.

Didn't they do the same with the announcement for Halo 5?

Thank fuck, a return to form in the art would be greatly appreciated.

Great music, interesting trailer, no idea what this game is.

That is old Halo art, not 343 art. Interesting. Also, this has to be a launch title for the next Xbox.

But... I want my follow up and conclusion to Halo Guardians :/

If I had to guess this is going to be a launch title for next gen

Art style hype and wildlife. Excited.

No one was sprinting in the trailer, I have something to cling too.

I just... want to know about the Slipspace engine.

Please!

Looks great, CE vibes.

The series needed a break, the amount of salt in the community, some deserved, really took away from the allure of the franchise.

I'd say this is going to be a launch title for the next system which will be BC with the old systems I'm sure.

Amaze-balls. But looks a long ways off

This is Halo 6.

I haven't been excited about Halo is years but depending on what this turns out to be, I might be looking forward to it again. I really liked seeing the old armor.

Hard to feel any hype when there's literally zero out there about this.

There's water in two shorts and a sort of submerged Easter egg - or rather the place I guessed Halo fans would realize it was in fact... Halo.

Its around the 1:10 mark. What is it people?

Looks like a warthog.

Is it true that we won't see it before 2020?

It's the sequel to Halo 5. So yes, kinda.

We won't see this before 2020.

You can forgive folks for not realising that. They dropped the numbering and, for a narrative driven series, put out a engine tech demo devoid of narrative. Lot's of folks won't have clue it's "Halo 6" just going by watching the trailer.

It's looks amazing though. The trailer is beautiful.

Maybe but it says Xbox One. Cross platform uber edition probably.

God damn

I didn't think it was possible, but 343i you've brought me back. This right here is how Halo 4/5 should have looked like. I'm actually really excited to see where this goes

Yeah, It is looking pretty great. I am really looking forward to how they handle the look of the Covenant races this time around. I was not a fan of the changes made to them in Halo 4.

Nice

Looks fantastic. Though with Gears 5 announced as a 2019 title and no date here, plus the confirmation of the next Xbox... there is zero doubt in my mind that this will either be cross-gen or a launch title for the Next Xbox.

I'm so happy with the artstyle change. It looks sooooo much better. It looks like Halo again.

Needed more footage.. no idea what it was other than "join" the master chief..

The armor design looks much more streamlined and closer to the original trilogy - which is great. Looks like 343 have been listening to the complaints about their art direction being over-designed.

Even though details are scarce, I'm not at all disappointed that this is a 2020+ game. The new engine, the art style, and the gameplay implications in the title and the teaser are all tantalizing and I'm happy to wait. I want this game to be to Halo what God of War 4 was for its series.

The real issue is that 343 don't appear to have anything in the pipeline between now and Infinite. I seriously question the longevity of H5 and MCC. Both games are at the tail-end of their lifespan; where will they be in two years? I doubt Microsoft are content to allow the franchise to fade into obsolescence - even temporarily - for any length of time.

This slipspace engine looks insane. And the art direction for the next halo is on point. Like holy shit that was perfect. Seeing Master Chief's armor made me shriek. So glad they decided to build a new engine for Halo.

if this is open world and running at 60 FPS...wonder if it's a next gen game

The story will still follow on from H5.

Very curious as to what this is, but I'm really glad it feels different, new, and mysterious.

Probably not until 2020... potential next gen launch game / cross gen.

Hyped as hell to see this opening the conference. Really wish we'd seen more though.

I'm guessing full blow out next year with a release 2019 or 2020?

Ringworld bitcheeeeees

No idea what this is supposed to be though.

It's gonna be on PC, so it'll just scale to whatever Xbox you're playing it on

Looked good but I wanted a little more.....

That trailer in 4K, even as an engine demonstration was fucking phenomenal.

I can confirm the rhino looking things did not run at half frame rate. Halo is saved

But seriously, the new artstyle, in this preview looks amazing. Hopefully we get more news soon

Art Style is a big plus.
I hope the gameplay is classic.

So no Release Window, i guess 2020?

ENTIRELY NEW SAGA!

ANNOUNCED ON Youtube E3

NOT HALO 6!
