E3 2018: Halo Infinite announced, will use new Slipspace Engine

After clutching their cards close to their chest, Microsoft finally played their hand at E3 2018. Opening the press conference was the announcement for Halo Infinite, the next chapter in Master Chief’s story. No concrete details were shared aside from the fact that it’ll run on the new “Slipspace Engine,” though there supposedly are a couple of Easter Eggs in the teaser.

Following game trailer playbooks, the Halo Infinite video opens with some scenic landscapes before introducing details such as hieroglyphs and, in proper Halo fashion, the Spartan helmet. There’s no combat nor even a line or two laden with suspense and drama – just a beautiful world that probably wouldn’t get to stay that way for long.

3 Industries are returning as the game’s developers.

In a bit of pure speculation, it’s interesting to see them using”Infinite” for the title, especially when online multiplayer games are still the talk of the town for major publishers.
