It feels like a long time since we first started talking about Halo Infinite, doesn't it? That's probably because despite the game only launching in late 2021, Xbox actually unveiled Infinite during its E3 showcase in mid-2018 - more than three years before the game ever released. The thing is, we're now almost three years the other side of Infinite's launch, so we're starting to think about where the team might go next.
As its name perhaps suggests, we always thought Halo Infinite would end up being this long-term live service beast - think something like Destiny 2, where seven years in we're still getting major expansions. And, while 343 Industries hasn't officially announced that it's moving on just yet, the team has wound down development on seasonal updates, and a strange trailer from earlier this month suggested that 343 is perhaps satisfied with the game staying largely as it is in 2024.
