Halo: Infinite: Everything We Know And Hope For So Far

Nyland would sadly only return once more to the series following his initial two works, but Ghosts of Onyx is quite the sendoff. While his first two novels focused on Master Chief's birth as a Spartan and his trip home following the Infinity nikki Events of Combat Evolved , Ghosts of Onyx shifts away from John-117 and focuses on the Spartan-III program. When John's wave of Spartan soldiers was mostly declared missing in action, the UNSC replaced them with a new program that recruited minors orphaned by the ongoing war. Onyx covers the beginnings of that program and the discovery of a Forerunner artifact that would narratively help bridge the gap between Bungie's work on Halo __ and the story 343 Industries wanted to tell. All three books feature throughlines and story beats that serve as the backbone for every future story told in Halo 's unive


Halo Infinite looks to buck this trend by returning to many things that nostalgic fans of Halo: Combat Evolved might remember. However, it's likely that 343 will also continue to reference the stories told outside the game, especially if Infinite hopes to fill a map the size of a Halo ring . To catch up on the best stories already told in the world of Halo novels, here are the best selections from across the long history of Master Chief fict


Despite the name, 343 has already set the record straight on whether Halo Infinite is a deviation from the franchise's main timeline. Fans of the franchise can be assured that Infinite will serve as a straight-up sequel to the events of Halo 5: Guardi


Though the announcement is a welcome one, it is a bit odd considering the effort necessary to craft a new engine at a time when Unreal Engine 4 was already making significant headway. Nevertheless, it should be a significant step up from anything we've seen bef

The latest trailer for Halo Infinite suggests that the Banished have allied themselves with the goals of the Harbinger (possibly a reference to Cortana ), which would represent a major threat to humanity in the wake of the Human-Covenant war, and the foiling of the Ur-Didact's plans. How it plays out has yet to be revealed, but with a Halo ring already under their control, the Banished certainly aren't playing ga


It’s essentially a flying semi-truck lacking stealth capabilities, weapons, or any technology that can make it a stand-alone vehicle. The nature of this ship requires ground and aerial support to keep it alive. It can transport things, but only if where it's going is relatively safe or it has bac


The long-awaited, the ever so hyped, Halo Infinite . Microsoft's flagship franchise has always delivered when the time is right. And with the release of the Xbox X coming later this year, it looks like the next iteration in the series is going to be a launch title for the new cons


This isn't to say that there weren't Halo spinoffs in Bungie's era, but the franchise's creators didn't seem concerned with integrating that material into their work. In some ways, they directly contradicted it, pushing the narrative of John-117 as the last remaining Spartan in a universe where he canonically teamed with several Spartan cohorts before and after his first adventure on the titular ringworld. For some fans, 343's warm embrace of the wider lore is most welcome, but it had a significant effect on Halo 's ability to draw in a wide audience with its single-player campaigns. When the big villain of Halo 4 's adventure meets his fate in a comic book years before Halo 5: Guardians , the end result is a player base consisting of just the most faithful f

Fans are used to knowing a lot about a new Halo by this point, but Xbox is holding off in hopes of stunning the world when they fully reveal it this year. Let's now take a look at everything we know about Halo 's newest entry Halo: Infinite , as well as everything we hope for, so


As mentioned earlier, Halo Infinite details are scant, but a recent teaser clip on Halo's official YouTube page unveiled the return of a faction known as the Banished, which might replace the Covenant and Forerunner forces as a primary enemy . They were first introduced in Halo War
