The game would later make an appearance at E3 2019, capping off the conference with the [[Discover Hope]] trailer, revealing a release date originally set for late [[2020]].{{Ref/Site|Id=Reboot|URL=https://au.ign.com/articles/2019/02/28/halo-infinite-will-be-a-spiritual-reboot-for-the-franchise-ign-unfiltered|Site=IGN|Page=Halo Infinite will be a 'Spiritual Reboot' for the Franchise - IGN Unfiltered|D=28|M=3|Y=2021}} On August 11, 2020, it was announced that due to ongoing difficulties in development due to the COVID-19 pandemic - among other factors - ''Halo Infinite'' was to be delayed, with a new release date set for [[2021 (real world)|2021]].{{Ref/Site|Id=Delay|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/halo-infinite-development-update|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo Infinite Development Update}}

==Gameplay==
[[File:HINF BeamEmitterAbove.png|250px|thumb|Pre-release screenshot of an area players can explore in ''Halo Infinite''{{'}}s campaign.]]
''Infinite'' has been described as being a "platform" for the ''Halo'' franchise for at least the next decade. It is intended that the game be added to over time, rather than utilizing the previous system of numbered titles.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/halo-infinite-is-a-platform-for-the-next-ten-years/1100-6480039/|Site=GameSpot|Page=Halo Infinite Is A Platform For The Next Ten Years Of Halo|D=28|M=3|Y=2021}} The gameplay is inspired by the original trilogy, especially ''Halo 3'', along with the gameplay from ''Halo: Reach'', ''Halo 4'', and ''Halo 5: Guardians'', with a focus on the use of [[Equipment]] rather than [[Armor abilities]].{{Ref/Reuse|InsideJanuary}} Unlike the original trilogy, however, the player has the [[Sprint]] ability as well as the [[Spartan abilities#Slide|Slide]] ability from ''Halo 5: Guardians''.{{Ref/Reuse|HIcampaign}} Like ''Halo 4'' and ''Halo 5: Guardians'', ''Halo Infinite'' did not feature playable Sangheili in multiplayer or [[dual wielding]] at launch.{{Ref/Reuse|Ask343Zeta}}

===Campaign===
The campaign takes place on [[Installation 07]], within a seamless open world broken up by linear story missions. the campaign has been described as being larger than the campaigns of ''[[Halo 4]]'' and ''5'' combined.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.gameinformer.com/2020/07/23/halo-infinite-comes-out-swinging-during-xbox-showcase|Site=Game Informer|Page=Halo Infinite Comes Out Swinging During Xbox Showcase|D=28|M=3|Y=2021}} The campaign intends to implement four player online co-op and two-player local splitscreen co-op.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/halo-infinite-multiplayer-makes-grappling-hook-a-p/1100-6480112/|Site=GameSpot|Page=Halo Infinite Multiplayer Makes Grappling Hook A Pickup, 4-Player Split-Screen Confirmed|D=28|M=3|Y=2021}}{{Ref/Site|URL=https://screenrant.com/halo-infinite-split-screen-co-op-campaign-multiplayer/|Site=Screenrant|Page=Halo Infinite Campaign Is 2-Player Local Splitscreen & 4-Player Online|D=28|M=3|Y=2021}} As a result of shifting focus towards a higher quality product at launch, the campaign co-op mode was not available at launch, but 343 Industries plans to include it alongside ''Halo Infinite''{{'}}s [[Season 02 (Halo Infinite)|Season 02]]{{Ref/YouTube|Id=AugUpdate|Yct2QKgF5e4|HALO|Halo Infinite <nowiki>|</nowiki> Development Update - August|Time=1034|D=21|M=8|Y=2021}}, which has also been delayed from it's initial estimate of 3 months after launch.

The game includes a dynamic day/night cycles which lasts approximately one hour. Enemies sometimes act differently per the time of day, like Unggoy sleeping at night. Weather elements such as wind and fog coming in at different altitudes also feature. Rain and snowstorms were not featured at launch, but may be added in the future.{{Ref/Reuse|Ask343Zeta}}

The open world of ''Halo Infinite'' is divided into seven areas, each being unlocked as the player progresses through the main missions. When an area becomes accessible, the side missions within the area also become available. Side missions include retaking 12 UNSC [[Forward Operating Base]]s (FOBs), sabotaging seven Banished outposts, rescuing 20 marine squads in distress, and eliminating 15 Banished High-Value Targets. Upon retaking a FOB, nearby side missions (along with [[Mjolnir Armory]] lockers and Spartan Cores) are labelled on the [[TACMAP]]. Completing side missions reward [[Valor]], which contributes to the FOB progression system, adding weapons, vehicles, and marines to FOBs. Most indoor areas dedicated to main missions cannot be accessed again in the open world after completing the main missions. 

The seven areas and their missions are as follows:

===Academy===
The Academy is a training mode that allows new players to learn the flow of ''Halo'' combat and let veteran players warm up before heading into matchmaking.{{Ref/Reuse|mpoverview}} Players are assisted by Commander [[Laurette Agryna]], a Spartan supersoldier in charge of training new Spartan recruits at the [[Avery J. Johnson Academy of Military Science]], a hidden outpost on a frontier world. There are several sections to the academy, such as a live fire range where players can test out weapons on AI controlled Spartans and a movement course that allows new players to become familiar with Infinite's movement.{{Ref/Reuse|mpoverview}}

Most notably, the Academy allows players to create matches populated by [[Non-playable character|AI bots]] to test out their skills on hostile opponents. Bot difficulty, starting weapons, grenades, and the amount of bots can all be changed in game.{{Ref/Reuse|mpoverview}} Bots come in four difficulty types — Recruit, Marine, ODST, and Spartan — with the primary differences between them being intelligence and resourcefulness. All bots can use equipment, keeps track of power weapon spawns, and will try to use them.{{Ref/Reuse|InsideJuly}}

===Overview===
A sequel to ''Halo 5'' had entered the planning stages by September, 2015. By this point, the developers were aware of where the story would go, and had begun writing the game. The game has been referred to offhand as "''Halo 6'',"{{Ref/Site|URL=http://www.gamespot.com/articles/halo-6-is-undergoing-serious-real-planning-microso/1100-6430903/|Site=GameSpot|Page=Halo 6 Is Undergoing "Serious, Real Planning," Microsoft Says|D=28|M=3|Y=2021}} before the official title was announced at E3 2018. Frank O'Connor has argued that the next installment would feature "a much more human story". The studio plans on keeping the [[Cooperative play|cooperative mode]] introduced in ''Halo 5''. ''Halo Infinite'' will have two-player splitscreen, as will all other future Halo FPS games.{{Ref/YouTube|h_7M93WRFng|IGN|D.I.C.E Summit 2017 (Day 2) - IGN Live|Quote=And I will say, for every FPS going forward, we will have splitscreen, going forward.|Quotee=[[Bonnie Ross]]}} Early "blue-sky" concept art was [[:File:HINF BoosterFrame Ring Concept.jpg|produced]] during this year, depicting the game's setting of a broken Installation 07.{{Ref/Twitter|Id=Lynn|KoryLynnHubbell|1427361077709328396|Kory Lynn Hubbell|Quote=A piece I worked on at 343 back in 2015 which I noticed is being used in the Halo: Infinite 2022 wall calendar!

As of June 2017, it has been confirmed that ''Halo Infinite'' will not be discussed "for quite some time", implying a longer development cycle.{{Ref/Site|URL=http://au.ign.com/articles/2017/06/19/e3-2017-halo-6-reveal-wont-be-soon-says-343-industries|Site=IGN|Page=E3 2017: Halo 6 Reveal 'Won't Be Soon', Says 343 Industries|D=28|M=3|Y=2021}} ''Halo Infinite'' intends to have a beta at some point prior to its release.{{Ref/Site|URL=http://in.ign.com/halo-5/76851/news/all-future-halo-games-will-have-betas-says-343-industries|Site=IGN|Page=All Future Halo Games Will Have Betas, Says 343 Industries|Quote=Going forward, you will never see a Halo game coming out without a beta.|Quotee=Bonnie Ross|D=28|M=3|Y=2021}} ''Halo Infinite'' will also have more focus on the Master Chief by "doubling down" on him.{{Ref/Site|URL=http://wccftech.com/343i-halo-5-mistake-master-chief|Site=Wccftech|Page=343i Acknowledges Halo 5 Storytelling Mistake, Will Double Down on Master Chief Focus|D=28|M=3|Y=2021}} There will be no Battle Royale mode featured according to [[Jeff Easterling|Jeff Easterling's]] claim “The only BR we're interested in is the [[Battle rifle|Battle Rifle]]”, in response to the popular trend during a livestream.{{Ref/Reuse|BattleRoyale}}

[[File:HI_DH_FirstPerson.png|300px|thumb|left|A first-person view of ''Halo Infinite'' in the Discover Hope trailer.]]
Since the launch of ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' in [[2015#October|October 2015]], [[343 Industries]] has been developing a new game engine—''[[Slipspace Engine]]''. The engine was built to help the development team fully realize their goals for the upcoming successor to ''Guardians'', ''Halo Infinite''. First announced with an engine demonstration at [[Microsoft Studios|Microsoft]]'s [[Electronic Entertainment Expo|E3 2018]] conference, ''Halo Infinite'' is still currently in relatively early development. The trailer depicted the [[John-117|Master Chief]] aiding [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] on a [[Halo Array|Halo installation]], encountering wildlife similar to deer and rhinoceroses.{{Ref/Reuse|waypoint journey}} None of the wildlife will be hostile to the player.{{Ref/YouTube|Id=Ask343Zeta|BgrbXe-CMaE|HALO|#Ask343 <nowiki>|</nowiki> Halo Infinite – Zeta Halo}}

On a Mixer stream on December 19, 2018, several 343i employees confirmed that players who liked ''[[Halo: Reach]]''{{'}}s [[Armor customization (Halo: Reach)|armor customization]] would be pleased with ''[[Armor customization (Halo Infinite)|Halo Infinite's]]''. Black undersuits for the multiplayer Spartans was also confirmed. Players who reach [[Rank (Halo 5: Guardians)|SR 152]] in ''Halo 5: Guardians'' will be rewarded with the "Watchdogs" armor coating in ''Halo Infinite''.{{Ref/Site|Id=HH2018|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/happy-halodays-2018|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Happy Holidays <nowiki>|</nowiki> Halo Community Update|D=28|M=3|Y=2021}}{{Ref/Site|Id=InsideDecember2020|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/inside-infinite-december-2020|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Inside Infinite - December 2020}}

E3 2019 provided more information about the game. It showed an early scene from the game where a [[Echo 216's pilot|pilot]] of a [[Echo 216|derelict Pelican]] finds the Master Chief floating in space in front of a damaged Halo, retrieves him and powers his suit back up; preparing for battle. Another scene shows the Master Chief moving inside of an environment resembling a Halo's control room, and preparing a [[Data crystal chip|AI chip]] with the explicitly deliberate goal of "reconnecting" with someone or something.{{Ref/YouTube|Jye1-0zh41E|Xbox|343 Unpacks E3 2019 Halo Infinite Trailer|Quote=That was a... a really important part of the trailer where Master Chief is um, going into a very... Forerunner um, environment, to kind of uh, ''reconnect''.|Quotee=Chris Lee}}  Additionally, an audio file hidden within the trailer's HUD sequence features Cortana's voice remarking that "This... This is part of me. I don't know why. I don't know how. But it is me."

The Xbox Games Showcase in July served as a substitute for E3 2020 which had been cancelled by the Covid-19 pandemic. A demo was streamed showing the Master Chief and Echo-419's pilot crash landing on [[Installation 07]]. It featured gameplay showing an "open-world" gameplay, the return of Sprint, gameplay with the new weapons and two of the new equipment: the [[Grappleshot]] and the [[Drop wall]].

Development of the game was slowed in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic,{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/halo-infinite-graphics-will-get-better-and-better-/1100-6480138/?ftag=NLS-04-10aaa1d|Site=GameSpot|Page=Halo Infinite Graphics Will Get "Better And Better" Leading Up To Launch, Says Microsoft|D=28|M=3|Y=2021}} with the pandemic eventually contributing to the game's delay for a [[2021 (real world)|2021]] release.{{Ref/Reuse|Delay}} The game was originally planned for a release on November 10, as an Xbox Series X launch title.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/phil-spencer-says-halo-infinite-delay-didnt-affect-the-series-x-launch-sales-much/1100-6484516/?ftag=NLS-04-10aaa1d|Site=GameSpot|Page=Phil Spencer Says Halo Infinite Delay Didn't Affect The Series X Launch Sales Much|D=28|M=3|Y=2021}}

During the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase segment of E3 in June 2021, 343 Industries presented [[Halo Infinite E3 2021 showcase|a trailer for the campaign and multiplayer]]. Multiplayer gameplay, including 4v4 arena, Big Team Battle, and player customization, were shown.{{Ref/Generic|[[Halo Infinite E3 2021 showcase]]}}

In July 2021, the first [[Halo Infinite Multiplayer Tech Preview|Multiplayer Technical Preview]] went live for selected members of ''Halo'' Insider Program. This first preview tested 4v4 bot multiplayer matches, Academy's Weapon Drills, and UI tests on ''Infinite''{{'}}s Battle Pass, Challenges, menu, and Spartan customization.{{Ref/Reuse|InsideJuly}}

By 20 August 2021, ''Halo Infinite'' development has entered "shutdown" mode, where the focus has shifted towards bugfixes and reviews on campaign and multiplayer.{{Ref/Reuse|AugUpdate}}

===Flighting===
{{Main|Halo Infinite Multiplayer Tech Preview}}
Flighting via the Halo Insider program took place sometime in the summer of 2021. Bots, challenges, a truncated Battle pass and only a select amount of Arena maps were featured in the Flight. All invited accounts were given a set amount of in-game [[Credits]] to use on unlocks, which did not transfer to the full release of the game.{{Ref/Site|Id=InsideJuly|D=27|M=7|Y=2021|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/inside-infinite-july-2021|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Inside Infinite - July 2021}}
{{Expand-section}}

===Features===
''Halo Infinite'' is being developed with cross-play and cross-progression available on the Xbox One, Xbox Series, and PC.{{Ref/Site|Id=pcjourney|URL=https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2021/04/29/continuing-our-pc-gaming-journey-in-2021-and-beyond/|Site=Xbox|Page=Continuing Our PC Gaming Journey in 2021 and Beyond|D=30|M=4|Y=2021}} All platforms support customizable options in [[wikipedia:Field of view in video games|field of view]] and input devices, with players being able to use controllers as well as keyboard and mouse on all platforms. As such, the game also offers additional gameplay settings for keyboard and mouse users, including triple keybinds, advanced sensitivity, and acceleration sliders. ''Halo Infinite'' on PC supports interface with [[Steam]] and [[Wikipedia:Discord (software)|Discord]], and comes with customizable in-game settings, including a wide range of display aspect ratios (including 21:9 and 32:9 formats) as well as advanced graphics options.{{Ref/Reuse|InsideApril}}

===Art===
''Halo Infinite'' will be the first debut of a new artstyle introduced by [[Nicolas Bouvier|Nicolas "Sparth" Bouvier]];{{Ref/Twitter|nbsparth|1006551493774696448|Nicolas Bouvier}} Bouvier having worked as a concept artist for the series' expanded media, drew heavy inspiration from the most iconic and historic parts of the ''Halo'' franchise and fan feedback, while ensuring that the fidelity of those designs would take full advantage of the [[Xbox One]]'s capabilities. The game focuses on the Master Chief, with 343i having taken feedback on the amount of time spent playing as the Master Chief in ''Halo 5''. The studio has stated that they are making changes to how they approach the game's creation, while also taking new and unexpected directions. Community involvement in the game's design will be utilized, with community members being able to join early flighting programs to give 343i direct feedback.{{Ref/Reuse|waypoint journey}}

When designing the setting, inspiration was taken from the Pacific Northwest.{{Ref/Site|Id=InsideFebruary|D=28|M=3|Y=2021|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/inside-infinite-february-2021|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Inside Infinite - February 2021}} "Sub-biomes" also feature, representing said biomes from the Northwest. Some unique areas called "Deadlands" appear, representing war-torn areas of the ring.{{Ref/Reuse|Ask343Zeta}}

{{expand-section}}

===Audio===
Halo Infinite features an advanced audio system unlike any seen in previous games. Using a new sound mapping system, in-game audio could be more realistically affected by features of the environment, such as walls and doorways. Another new feature coming with Halo Infinite is "audio threat prioritization," which alerts the player to threats by making the sound produced by enemies—especially that of incoming fire—louder than sounds produced by the player and their allies.{{Ref/Reuse|InsideMarch}}
