Whoa, this was definitely an unexpected surprise to wake up to! During a recent livestream from 343 Industries, the team officially announced that Halo Infinite will be getting a third-person mode this November!
That’s right—three years after the game’s original release, a major new feature like third-person gameplay is being added to Infinite, which is quite surprising, especially since many thought substantial updates were mostly behind us at this point.
Nevertheless, the team shared a work-in-progress clip of the new mode in action, which you can check out below.
Based on the nature of the clip and 343’s history of focusing on multiplayer updates for Halo Infinite, it’s likely this feature will be limited to multiplayer and won’t extend to the campaign.
This makes sense considering the immersive, first-person perspective is core to stepping into the shoes of Master Chief in the story mode.
Regardless, it’s an exciting addition to the multiplayer experience that no one saw coming!
Back in July, the team released the ‘Operation Fleetcom’ update, continuing to deliver new content for Halo Infinite even though the game no longer follows the traditional seasonal update model.
Third-person mode is set to arrive in November 2024, bringing a fresh new way to experience Halo’s multiplayer.
