It’s been a long, arduous journey for Halo Infinite. First announced at E3 2018, the game has faced a series of delays, reports of behind-the-scenes drama, and plenty of criticism after its underwhelming unveiling last July. Hitting the stage at E3 2021, 343 Industries had something to prove: is Halo Infinite truly the future of the beloved shooter series or a misstep for the studio?

As reported by GameSpot, Jeff Easterling—a writer and content producer at 343 Industries— has now confirmed via a recent Mixer livestream that “Infinite” is indeed the next main title.
“It is Halo 6,” Easterling said. “You should just consider it Halo 6. Don’t think of it as a weird prequel kind of thing. It’s the next story. It’s the next chapter in what is going on.”
While not else about the sequel has been shared publicly, Steve Downes is confirmed to reprise his role as the voice of the Master Chief in “Halo Infinite”, with this game refocusing the story...
