A \u201cspiritual reboot\u201d \u201cWe don\u2019t want to simply build a sequel, we want to build on the story and invention that has gone before and take the gameplay and narrative in bold new directions, while honoring the legacy that fans have fallen in love with for almost twenty years,\u201d they wrote in a blog post. \u201cThe universe will continue the continuity of Halo 5 and in that sense contain the adventures that led up to this moment, but in the pursuit of our \u2018spiritual reboot\u2019 and the launch of a new console, we also want to make sure that this is a perfect starting point for new players too.\u201d \u201cThis story will mark the beginning of a new chapter and challenge for the Chief, but it will also respect and continue threads that led to this point. If you\u2019ve never played a Halo game before, this will be a great place to jump into the story.\u201d More information on Halo Infinite and Project Scarlett is expected in the coming months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
