Halo Infinite reveal pits the Master Chief against The Banished in an open world

Microsoft has begun to peel back the layers of Halo Infinite today with a reveal trailer during the Xbox Games Showcase and a deep dive into the gameplay of the new installment in the 19-year-old sci-fi shooter series that stars the supersoldier Master Chief. This preview showed the Spartan warrior fighting against The Banished faction and its huge Brute fighters in an open world — with a grappling hook.

Halo Infinite will probably be one of the top games that could help Microsoft sell the Xbox Series X video game console. But Microsoft has also said such games will likely be available on the current console, the Xbox One, and the Windows PC as well. In that sense, players won’t be forced to buy a new console just to play Halo Infinite.
