Halo Infinite will be a “spiritual reboot” for the Halo franchise, according to 343 Industries. In this month’s episode of IGN Unfiltered, Ryan McCaffrey sat down with Bonnie Ross, head of 343 Industries, and discussed the development of Halo Infinite, among many other topics (watch the full interview below).
While Halo Infinite is, effectively, Halo 6, the team at 343 Industries is bringing their experience with the entire Halo franchise to bear in developing the new game, which aims to recapture what makes Halo such an iconic franchise. “We’re kind of calling it a ‘spiritual reboot,'” Ross said, “That’s kind of how we talk about it.”
According to Ross, 343 had “great learning moments” with Halo: The Master Chief Collection, the multiplayer suite in Halo 4, and the approach to REQ packs and free maps in Halo 5 multiplayer, and the studio has been keeping those moments in mind while crafting Halo Infinite.
