The first gameplay footage for Halo Infinite has been revealed as part of the Xbox Games Showcase.
The hotly anticipated sci-fi shooter will see the return of fan-favourite franchise protagonist Master Chief, who has been absent from the saga throughout its most recent iterations.
Chris Lee, the studio head behind Halo Infinite, described the game’s open world campaign as “the most ambitious campaign we’ve ever created”.
He added that it was “several times larger than our last two Halo games combined”. Halo Infinite will be out Holiday 2020.
The Xbox Games Showcase also announced several new games coming to the forthcoming next-generation Xbox Series X console, which will hit shelves later this year.
The largest of these was the long-awaited sequel to the 2010 fantasy game Fable III.
Other announcements included Echo Generation, a pixelated indie game with shades of Stranger Things, Exomecha, a new free-to-play shooter coming in late 2021 to Xbox One, Xbox Series X and PC, and State of Decay 3.
There’s also the trippy platformer Psychonauts 2, with a trailer that prominently featured the vocal stylings of Jack Black, a horror game called The Medium and a new RPG from The Outer Worlds developers Obsidian.
Plus, Xbox revealed that Dragon Quest: Echoes of an Elusive Age – Definitive Edition, released on Nintendo Switch last year, is set to arrive on Xbox One and PC (plus, potentially, Series X) on 4 December.
It was also announced that Ori and the Will of the Wisps, the acclaimed puzzle-platformer from earlier this year, will arrive on Xbox Series X.
