According to screenshots posted by Bathrobe Spartan,Halo Infinite’sbattle royalewill include an intro, deployment, and release phase, similarly to other titles likeFortniteandCall of Duty: Warzone. Also, a statement from anotherHaloinsider, Ains, alleges that the battle royale mode could be with fans in mid-2023, coinciding with the release of the game’s fourth season.
As this has not been confirmed by 343 or Xbox, these details around the potential release ofHalo Infinite’sbattle royale should be taken with a pinch of salt. Should these details prove to be true, it seems that the game mode will be similar to a lot of other popular battle royales, but there will be some key differences. Namely,Halo Infinitewill allow for a loadout to be taken into Tatanka when a player drops, unlike other titles where they have to scavenge for weapons along the way.
Previously, there was a rumor circulating thatHalo Infinite’sTatanka game mode had been in development since 2020, and if this is the case, hopefully it means that the battle royale will release in a more polished state than the original game’s multiplayer. There is still plenty of time before the game mode’s potential release though, asHalo Infinitehas yet to launch its third season.
Halo Infiniteis now available on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
