Following its reveal of Halo: Campaign Evolved and rumors of further remakes alongside the eventual Halo 7, fans have been left wondering: What about Halo Infinite? The answer lies in Operation: Infinite – the final major content update for the controversial first-person shooter.
As confirmed on the latest Community Livestream by senior community manager John Junyszek, “The reason we started by talking about Halo: Campaign Evolved is because that’s our next game. That’s kinda the future of where our studio is starting to invest more and more of its time and resources. So this upcoming Halo Infinite update will be our last planned major content release.”
Over on Waypoint, Halo Studios says it remains “committed to supporting” the title “on the road ahead.” However, since there are several new Halo titles in the works, the “combined focus” of the entire team is required to “deliver new experiences with the same passion and care that our community has given us.”
Operation: Infinite will include a new Operation Pass with more than 30 new customization options for your characters, new weapon models, and five armor sets. The Exchange will also receive 200 “never-before-released customizations” alongside cosmetics from previous Operations and events.
The end of Halo Infinite’s support seemed a given sooner or later, especially with its retirement at the Halo Championship Series. However, it’s especially sobering considering its original plan as a “platform for the future,” at least according to former studio head Chris Lee. Its launch was middling, but numerous updates improved the multiplayer over time, adding new maps, modes and features. Unfortunately, it’s nowhere near the “next ten years of Halo” that was initially promised.
In the meantime, Halo: Campaign Evolved will launch in 2026 for Xbox Series X/S, PC, and PS5, a series’ first. As a remake of the 2001 classic, it adds features such as sprint, four-player campaign co-op and three new prequel missions. There won’t be competitive multiplayer, though.
