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!

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]].

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}}
