Halo Infinite Draws Inspiration from Rockstar’s GTA 6 Trailer for Exciting Teaser of New Reveal

Microsoft has playfully referenced Rockstar’s highly-anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 reveal trailer release date by hinting at a surprise announcement of its own.

Just over two years after its launch, a fresh reveal for Halo Infinite is set to arrive on Monday, December 4th at 5pm UK time.

The announcement was made this evening by Microsoft in a post on X, previously known as Twitter, mimicking Rockstar’s GTA 6 trailer post from earlier in the day. The accompanying image depicts the softly-lit silhouette of a Halo ring, rather than palm trees and seagulls.

So, what could this be about? Is Microsoft building up excitement for something big, or is it just another multiplayer update? Fans’ responses to Microsoft’s post include hopes for news on Halo Infinite campaign DLC, or an update on the game’s long-awaited battle royale mode.

Certain Affinity, the studio long-rumored to be developing Halo Infinite’s battle royale mode, last hinted at its work on the project back in 2022. At that time, they had been working on the mode for two years with a team of around 100 people.

Halo Infinite is expected to launch its sixth multiplayer season at the end of January. Perhaps we’ll see that in Monday’s trailer instead?

And in other Halo news, the second season of the franchise’s big budget telly adaptation is set to begin shooting early next year, while the first season of the Halo TV show is now available to watch in the UK.
