Update: Halo Mail Offers Refer to Halo Infinite, Not a New Halo Game

Earlier this week, Halo Community Manager John Junyszek confirmed that the mailing lists indicating that a new Halo project was underway were in fact using the language of the hotplate the company uses for mailing lists. It actually referred to Halo: Infinite, not a new project. ‘I dug a bit and was able to confirm that this is a role for Halo Infinite. This is our standard boiler language for mailing lists. We saw the same attention posted last summer before confirming that it was also for Infinity, “he said. Junyszek said in response to a Twitter entry about the potential spin-off.

Original story follows.

343 Industries has confirmed that it is not working on another Halo Wars game. After the mailing lists suggested that an unannounced Halo project was underway, the announcement leaves open speculation about a less-expected discount.

In this week’s Halo Community Update, the 343 team was clear about the future of the Halo Wars sub-series: “343 Industries has no current plans for further Halo Wars 2 work, including content updates, balance solutions, and the title to others platforms will bring, or a new game in the series […] There is no plan for the development team to enter into talks with Halo Wars 2 again and we are not currently working on a new game in the series. ‘

However, if you are a fan, there was a bit of hope. “We’re specifically never going to say, because who knows what the future may bring.”

This is especially interesting, as we reported earlier this week on a mailing list suggesting that a ‘new project in the Halo universe’ is under development – a project that many believe means a Halo Wars 3 on the way wash. With the possibility now closed, speculation is more open – perhaps the team is moving to a new discount, or a separate Halo game while the rest of the studio concludes its work on Halo Infinite. Previous unconfirmed rumors suggest that there may be a finish in the works that focuses on Halo 5’s Fireteam Osiris. What we would like to see – what about a Halo horror game?

Officially, the blog post claims that the talent behind Halo Wars shifts its focus to supporting the Master Chief Collection “and a lot of ongoing work to support the Halo franchise.”

There’s also the little thing about Halo Infinite, which will appear later this year in the fall of 2021. “The majority of the studio is incredibly focused and working on the launch of Halo Infinite (and you may have heard, ‘launch is just the beginning’),” reads the blog post. .
