Information about Infinite is otherwise quite scant beyond last year's reveal that it will be rendered by the new "Slipspace Engine" (as opposed to either previous engines or the likes of Unity or Unreal). Advertisementįurther Reading Halo TV show going into production in early 2019Sams' information doesn't clarify whether to expect anything in Halo Infinite as plot-altering as the conversations in BioWare's famed series, but such mechanics would certainly be a big step for Halo, a series that has previously hinged on linear plots. The uneven game saw the developer BioWare actually reduce its RPG-like, decision-driven philosophy, thus depriving the company's fans of the substantial "conversation wheel" options seen in series like Mass Effect and Dragon Age. This news conveniently lands on the same week that EA's long-awaited game Anthem launches for Windows PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. With a brand new game engine, the team behind is trying to make the story adapt to decisions the user makes and the game may have more RPG (role-playing game) elements than prior versions of the series. What makes this rumor a little more interesting is that Sams offered context we hadn't yet heard about the game: On Friday, Sams pushed forward an unsurprising rumor: that the previously announced game Halo Infinite will be confirmed at E3 2019 as a "launch title" for Microsoft's next console (or consoles, more on that in a moment). The news comes from Thurrott's Brad Sams, who's currently the leading resource for hints when it comes to Microsoft's plans for its next wave of Xbox-branded devices.

In today's case, that specifically means Halo rumors. As rumors heat up over what to expect from this summer's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), one Microsoft-focused news site has tossed a few more logs on the next-Xbox fire.
