However, we will be able to return to previously visited sectors to uncover mysteries or complete side quests. That’s right, this is NOT an open-world game. Unlike past installments, which showcased linear routes that seldom led to larger, but enclosed, arenas, Infinite contains expansive hubs with their own ecosystems. Zeta Halo is the most expansive world in the Halo franchise. Don’t hold your breath if you’re anticipating a surprise appearance from The Arbiter, but only time will tell. What she could be doing with her malicious army of Guardians and whether or not Spartan Locke/Fireteam Osiris or Blue Team will be involved in the narrative remains to be seen. Escharum and his troops single-handedly decimated the UNSC forces on Zeta Halo, establishing the ring as a base of operations. Escharum appears to be a well-spoken, charismatic brute, challenging the Master Chief to brutal combat, “Set a fire in your heart, Spartan! Bare your fangs! Fight hard! Die well.” The Banished have allied themselves with an entity called “The Harbinger” – it’s safe to assume that we’re on the brink of another doomsday scenario.Īdditionally, 343 confirmed that Cortana would be returning. We’ll be fighting The Banished, led by Escharum, the mentor of Halo Wars 2’s antagonist, Atriox. Too bad he ran into the most Spartan-laser-focused supersoldier in the universe. Lightyears away from family and isolated after the UNSC is defeated by the Banished, the Pilot wants nothing more than to get away from Zeta Halo. Still, if the “ Discover Hope” cinematic is any indication, the Pilot has emotional stakes of his own to overcome.
This time around, Chief is joined by the “Echo-216 Pilot.” His real name will likely be uncovered over the course of the game. Will it be an ensemble game? I think certainly we feel great internal success with the cooperative play in Halo 5, so I think it’s something we’re heavily invested in and we won’t simply abandon.” “Without giving away too much, at the end of Halo 5, as you well know, the universe has changed so fundamentally that we have no choice but to tell what I would call a much more human story in the next game.
Halo franchise development director Frank O’Connor, in a candid interview with Time, stated that Infinite, as opposed to the previous numbered entry, will focus more on our favorite green-armored soldier and his bombastic escapades: The survival of humanity is on the line, and Chief must find a way to thwart his enemies’ plans (likely by destroying the halo ring), escape the ring itself, and find a way to save Cortana from her own “rampancy.” Chief will go head-to-head with a new threat, the Banished, as he explores another Halo Array. In the final chapter of the Reclaimer Saga, John-117 is back, discovered adrift (and dormant) in the cold vastness of space.
