Halo Infinite Campaign Bigger Than Halo 4 and 5 Combined

It has been a few days since Microsoft’s big Xbox Games Showcase and the information is still coming in by the hour, and the game dominating the news cycle is unsurprisinglyHalo Infinitewhich had its gameplay debut at the show. The next piece ofHaloinfo that has fans buzzing focuses on just how bigHalo Infiniteis going to be.

Speaking to IGN, 343 Industries developers Chris Lee and Paul Crocker provided new information forHalo’s jump into the ninth generation of consoles.

According to Lee,Halo Infinitewill be “several times larger” than bothHalo 4andHalo 5combined. While that is definitely sometime awe inspiring, there is the question about the context of “larger.” This reference in scope could either mean the actual landmass ofHalo Infinite’s world or possibly even the actual length of the game. While it is very likely the former,Halo Infinitecould push the franchise to new lengths in terms of play time through a bigger map and exploration. At least that exploration will come with new traversal means asHalo Infinitewill introduce a grappling hookinto the series.

While this news falls into the more positive talking points ofHalo Infinite, the game has also been met with harsh debate. The biggest point of contention revolves aroundHalo Infinite’s graphics with regards to the expectations of the next generation ofHalo. Fans havevoiced their displeasure withHalo Infinite’s graphicswith notable visual hiccups and pop in, with the backlash even seeingMicrosoft’s Aaron Greenberg to comment on the issuein a frank response to critics.

Coming out of the Xbox Games Showcase,Halo Infiniteis definitely the game to receive the most discussion following the presentation. The event had other big reveals outside ofHaloincluding the return of theFablefranchise, yet neither game quite captured the current interest of gamers the way another oddity did. Coming out of the showcase,Stalker 2’s debut trailer had the most viewsholding a steady lead aboveHalo Infinite’s gameplay and theFablereveal trailer on the official Xbox YouTube account.

So withHalo Infiniteserving as a launch game for the forthcoming Xbox Series X, fans will have to wait until they can experience the large scope of the game for themselves. While the next Xbox console does not have a launch date, some believe theSeries Xwill release sooner than most think, giving fans hope they won’t have to wait too long forHalo.

Halo Infiniteis in development for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
