One of the most highly anticipated upcoming games on PC is no doubt Halo Infinite. Once simply dubbed as Halo 6, this video game is set to provide a new beginning in Master Chief’s story and an ending to the 343 trilogies.
Still packed with surreal and jaw-dropping visuals and promising gameplay, there’s no denying that Halo Infinite is slated to make it big once it hits the stores. Of course, alongside this is the keen interest on possible newcomers and recurring characters from the series.
If you have been waiting for this game to drop, it may be high time to familiarize yourself with the changes in this Halo installment. Who knows, you might just encounter new characters that intrigue you to the core.
Halo Infinite – A Video Game for Action Seekers
Halo Infinite is the sixth installment in the Halo video games universe. Slated to release sometime in 2021, this game is a first-person shooter game designed and created by 343 Industries. It is published on behalf of Xbox Games Studios for Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC.
This latest game starts off with the Master Chief going against the most ruthless forces he has ever faced. Considered as the most expansive story in the Halo universe, Halo Infinite has a more open-world approach compared to the past video games.
Besides the Master Chief, Halo Infinite will also follow the story of Cortana and her powerful army of machines called the Guardians. Set in a Halo ring that has sustained damages, the Master Chief is set to embark on a quest to save humanity.
Its gameplay is quite advanced, with a multiplayer portion available as a free-to-play game being featured alongside an open-world map concept. This approach allows players to undertake different objectives and tasks, while still maintaining a clear linear story for players and characters to uphold.
Moreover, there is also an addition of a day/night cycle as well as wildlife happening to provide more contrast and reality to the game. There will also be equipment pickups features to help characters gain control of tools such as grappling hooks and shields.
What makes this different from previous Halo video games is that the developers say players have more freedom to explore different locations and forging their own paths, all while moving the story forward and highlighting the heroism and hope that Chief represents.
Character Options: What to Expect With the New Release
While the developers at 343 Industries have yet to detail the extent of customization features available on the new release, it can be safely said that users and players alike will have the ability to create and customize their own multiplayer character.
There are a number of options to choose from, including the level of the armor of customization to the appearance of the character. This can include applying skins to characters. Bear in mind, however, that more updates regarding this will come at a later date.
Other character options you can expect include a wider range of pistols that provide more accuracy and playstyle for players. Other weapons such as the Ravager, Mangler, CQS48 Bulldog, VK78 Commando, and the Pulse Carbine are expected to make their debut as well.
The addition of Forge will also provide players access to Undo & Redo buttons, perfect for those interested in making their own creations and those who want to try battle royale mode (as it’s not included in Halo Infinite).
The Bottom Line
While there is still a long way to go before you get to see Halo Infinite and its characters, you’ll certainly be thrilled with these new developments. These updates alone are enough to keep avid players on their toes until the next one, so keep your eyes peeled for more.
