E3 2019: Halo Infinite Gets First Official Trailer; Will Launch With Xbox Scarlett

During its Xbox press conference–one of the many E3 livestreams scheduled to air over the next few days–Microsoft finally gave us an official look at Halo Infinite. The game was first teased during last year’s E3, but Microsoft and 343 Studios have remained relatively quiet about the sixth mainline Halo entry since then.

Not anymore. After detailing the upcoming Xbox hardware, still code-named Scarlett, Xbox boss Phil Spencer announced that Halo will launch alongside the new hardware next holiday. That led into a cinematic trailer that set up the story for this entry.

In a cinematic trailer, we saw a UNSC soldier apparently stranded. He received an alert of a nearby vessel and went to call for help, and in the process discovered the Master Chief in survival mode. After a jolt of energy, Chief was revived, but the situation was still bleak. Cortana is MIA and enemies are pounding at the ship. As you may expect, Master Chief opted to confront the emerging threat head-on. A brief teaser after the title screen suggested that Cortana will return in some capacity. Her voice can be heard saying, “I chose you because you were special. I knew we would be perfect together. And I was right.”

Halo Infinite is coming to Xbox One and PC, breaking the streak of Halo games that only launch on an Xbox console before getting PC ports.

Prior to E3, Microsoft said it was “going big,” covering 14 first-party Xbox One titles and several third-party games. Microsoft has not disappointed when it comes to Game Pass either, revealing several new games for its subscription service. The studio also revealed its next-generation Xbox console.
