4 reasons why Halo Infinite is so important for Xbox Series X
The great popularity of the series: The Halo franchise is still extremely popular and is one of the most successful franchises of all time. Halo is certainly Microsoft’s most important flagship game and is therefore also very important for the Xbox Series X.
How important Halo is to Microsoft is also shown by the great success of the Master Chief Collection on Steam:
- Since its release in December 2019, the Master Chief Collection on Steam has received a very positive rating: Out of over 78,000 reviews, 91 % rated the game positively.
- The success of the PC version also shows: Players want more from the Halo universe.
The previous Halo exclusivity for Xbox: Previously, the Halo games were only available for Xbox for a long time. Many people were willing to buy an Xbox for Halo. The success of the Xbox Series X is likely to depend heavily on the success of Halo Infinite, even though the game will also be released for PC at the same time.
High sales figures and profits: The Halo series is an incredibly strong financial asset for Microsoft. The series alone had sold over 65 million copies by 2015 (via GamePro.de). And the Halo Master Chief Collection has also been very successful on Steam.
High expectations from fans: The large fan base built over the years is eagerly awaiting the new Halo franchise, Halo Infinite. The success of the PC version also shows: There is enormous potential here.
What is Halo Infinite?
Which game is it about? After Halo 5, the last official Halo game in 2015, Halo Infinite is the first new Halo game, not counting the remastered versions. Halo Fireteam Raven from 2018 was also only released for the arcade. Halo Infinite was first presented at E3 2019. A whole year has passed since then. Here you can see the trailer again:
Accordingly, the hopes for the new game are high:
- Halo Infinite is expected to offer an interesting campaign
- Many fans hope for an exciting and extensive multiplayer mode, as in Halo 5
What did Halo 5 have in 2015? Halo 5 had a campaign as well as classic multiplayer modes like Slayer, Capture the Flag, or SWAT.
In addition, Halo 5 also offered the Warzone mode: Here, players fought for strategic locations supported by AI soldiers that give points – similar to a MOBA.
Many therefore hope that Halo Infinite, like Halo 5: Guardians, will offer an interesting multiplayer experience.
