Halo Infinite Announced At Xbox's E3 Briefing

Meanwhile, Microsoft gave a first look at several games coming soon to multiple platforms, including Cyberpunk 2077 (from Witcher III developer CD Projekt Red), Tom Clancy's The Division 2, Devil May Cry 5 and Dying Light 2. The game, which was rumored in advance of the press conference, features the return of Master Chief and is rendered in a brand new graphics engine that 343 Industries is referring to as "Slipcase". They are now known all over the world for their work on the Souls series but with Sekiro, they are taking a completely different approach to an action game.

Even after I played a ton of Horizon 3, this new game feels delightfully fast when you're going full-speed - there's still nothing that feels quite as good as drifting through turns, destroying some shrubbery, and just barely passing your opponents as you rack up huge skill combos. And Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, its most recent success, was a PlayStation 4 timed console exclusive, although it eventually came out on Xbox One earlier this year. But the company continues to put more resources into the Xbox consoles and its gaming business overall. Additionally it has announced the acquisition of Playground Games, and letters of intent to acquire Ninja Theory, Undead Labs and Compulsion Games.

The future for the Xbox One, and Microsoft's gaming arm as a whole, hasn't been as bright as it is now after a massively successful.

"The world of gaming is on a history growth path where the increasing number of gamers is met with the increasing creative power of game developers".

Though Microsoft doesn't have the data to back this up, Spencer asserts that it's possible for games on Game Pass to actually sell more copies overall despite the fact that they're available with a Game Pass subscription. There are a still a lot of questions we have about this title, but Microsoft and 343 Studios also have some time to answer them.

Microsoft were consistently pull out shocks and nice surprises, including a trio of new Gears games.

"It's new for us, a little bit scary", Howard said of the multiplayer Fallout set to launch in November.

Halo Infinite has been officially announced as the next entry in the Halo franchise and Master Chief's story. Strap in and get ready, the fun starts at 1 p.m.

"Our cloud engineers are building a game streaming network to unlock console gaming on any device", said Spencer.
