Halo Infinite battle royale has a ring to it
A battle royale mode? In a shooter? In 2021? I for one amshocked! And I’m quite certain that aHalo Infinitebattle royale would spark all sorts of emotions.
Remember thatHalo Infinitetest period recently? The same one thatalso was datamined for major story spoilers that were confirmed by Microsoft? Well, we got a much less cheeky revelation here: the possible existence of a battle royale mode.As spotted by ResetEra, famed voice actor andHaloannouncer Jeff Steitzerallegedly has a line referring to “battle royale” in the game files. It’s done in the same cadence as he would when announcing a gametype at the top of a match.
So note that this isn’t fully confirmed on multiple levels. While Microsoft did warn people about the narrative spoilers, they haven’t acknowledged this particular tidbit yet: probably because there’s a lot less to go on here compared to the 800 lines of dialogue that were leaked for the former. Microsoft will likely announce aHalo Infinitebattle royale mode on their own if it exists.
In any case, some people will probably freak out if the game didn’t get one (as everyone is moving that way), and a lot of folks will be mad if itdoesinclude one. You can’t really win with modern shooter design! I say bring it on. I’d love to see 343’s take on it; and if it keepsHalo Infinitearound with the same SKU for longer, and uses the same open season pass concept, it’s a win for people who enjoy it and everyone else can ignore it.
