Halo Infinite showed us its free multiplayer component and the "new Cortana"

Halo Infinite is the main hope of the Xbox for 2021, but it is interesting that we did not get a release date at yesterday's presentation. It’s still only listed for fall 2021. But we’ve got the next best thing - new information about the multiplayer component that hasn’t been talked about (much) so far. Three key things have been confirmed:

• the multiplayer component of Halo Infinite will be a separate free-to-play format game, free to play

• multiplayer will be available in parallel with the release of the Halo Infinite campaign on Xbox consoles and PC

•  the game will support performance up to 120 fps on the Xbox Series X and S

Also shown is a two-minute montage of gameplay that looks pretty sharp and explosive. A significant change in dynamics could be introduced by a hook that can attract players around the environment, but also use it to attract objects. A more concrete presentation of the multiplayer awaits us later in the day - at 17:00.

In addition to multiplayer, we also got a brief overview of the campaign. It has been confirmed that the story at Infinite will continue after the Halo 5 event, but will serve as the starting chapter for a new generation of Halo fans.

The initiator of the action will be the mysterious fate of Master Chief's assistant Cortana, who was replaced by UNSC AI. However, the Master Chief has another helper we call the Pilot and goes into conflict with Banished’s army.
