The developers of Halo Infinite have commented on their new game just before Microsoft’s E3 conference this evening. It is meant to deliver a new Halo experience for both fans and newcomers.
What have the developers said? Halo Infinite from developer 343 Industries is currently generating a lot of excitement among fans. Although it was announced a year ago, there is still little concrete information about the title.
Executive Producer of 343 Industries, Kiki Wolfkill, explained to Gamesindustry that their goal was to create a Halo game “of the next generation”.
Primarily, Wolfkill wants to engage the younger generation of gamers:
We think a lot about how we can expand our audience to younger people whose parents have already played Halo, love it, and want to share it with their children.
[…] We want parents to feel like they can let their kids get lost in Halo.
With Halo Infinite, the developers also want to take the franchise in a new direction. It should appeal to both fans of the series and people who have never played Halo but enjoy the sci-fi genre, Wolfkill stated.
One of the team’s goals was to create a game for a very broad audience. Halo Infinite is a kind of spiritual reboot of the Halo series, which is why the game isn’t simply called “Halo 6”.
What’s behind this: The statement indicates that Halo has a good image among an “older” generation of gamers but struggles with the “younger” generation, who are currently more into shooters like Fortnite.
By engaging parents, the intention is apparently to reach the kids and convert them to the “right shooter”.
When will we learn more? The E3 press conference from Microsoft starts today at 10:00 PM our time. It has already been confirmed that Halo Infinite will also be featured there.
However, what information we will receive is still unclear. You can follow the conference live with us on our streaming channel MAX – Monsters and Explosions:
