Today, the original 343 Studios (now renamed Halo Studios) announced that the next update of "Halo: Infinite" will be its last major update.This may not be the most shocking news, but it still hasn't been appreciated by players.Players originally thought that "Halo: Infinite" would be an ongoing service-based work of this classic Xbox series-this is also the origin of its "Infinite" name.However, this idea is not without reason.Recently, Halo Studios announced that "Halo: Campaign Evolved" will also be launched on PlayStation 5. This move has settled the controversy related to the console war.Last year it was reported that the studio had canceled development plans for Halo Infinite 2 after switching to Unreal Engine.The good news is that Halo Studios appears to be stepping away from Halo Infinite to focus on other projects - so in theory, there could still be more Halo-related titles coming.
The last major update for Halo Infinite, Operation Infinite, is scheduled to launch on November 18, about a week and a half from today.The news was announced in today's community live broadcast, and the relevant content was mentioned about 10 minutes into the live broadcast.The studio also released relevant information on its blog, explaining: "There are currently multiple new games in the "Halo" series under development. We need the entire team to work together to create a new game experience powered by the enthusiasm and love given to us by the player community...'Operation Infinite' is the last major content update currently planned." Although this is the last major content update, it does not mean that "Halo: Infinite" will stop serving soon.At least we can look forward to more Halo titles in the future.
On the Reddit platform, players of the series expressed confusion.One user wrote: "Shouldn't it be the 'final' Halo? A service-based game that can run forever (at least ten years)?" The user also attached an article that seemed to confirm this statement, but other users also clarified this.Apparently, this quote comes up a lot when discussing Halo Infinite.This quote comes from Chris Lee - he was still working at 343 Studios when "Halo: Infinite" was announced, but left before the game was released.But even if this is the plan of everyone at the studio, things rarely go as planned.Just look at Rockstar's "GTA 6" which has been postponed again.
It's normal to feel disappointed, but it's not all bad.The studio said in a blog post that they "will continue to support Halo Infinite in the future..." The livestream also mentioned that the team is "focused on delivering all content already in development to players..." So players shouldn't miss out on any of the promised content.
In the future, we still need to continue to pay attention to "Halo: Infinite".The November 18 update may bring a lot of content, but regardless, it will be interesting to see how the game's support continues after the last major update.Beyond that, at least there's more exciting Halo-related news to come - even after the release of Halo: Campaign Evolved next year.
