Halo Infinite: The details behind Master Chief’s next adventure

Microsoft showed off eight minutes of gameplay behind Halo Infinite, the next big adventure for the science fiction series that stars Spartan supersoldier Master Chief. After the Xbox Games Showcase was over, I took part in a briefing where the press quizzed the developers of the game at Microsoft’s 343 Industries.

In our briefing, the developers narrated the gameplay demo of the “spiritual reboot,” which features Master Chief and his sidekick, the Pilot, crash landing on a Halo ring. Master Chief then goes off through the open world of the ring, which is a fully realized open world. The Spartan makes short work of enemies and demonstrates the range of combat options available to players, including a new Grappleshot, or grappling hook, which makes Master Chief far more maneuverable.
