"Halo Infinite" is one of the biggest games in the Xbox Series X and could be a launch title for the next generation of consoles. And thanks to a tweet by the Halo account, we know a little more about the game's story.

The Halo account tagged "Signal Detected:" This includes a broadcast by "The Banished," suggesting they may be one of the main enemies in the next Halo game. The teaser comes ahead of a major Xbox event scheduled for July, where a number of first-party games from the Xbox Series X, including "Halo Infinite," will be shown.

According to previous information, "Halo Infinite" will follow the storyline of "Halo 5: Guardians," in which Cortana, a friend and AI construct of the protagonist Master Chief, spreads across the galaxy for the purpose of keeping various races in check in a form of pseudo-forced peace, and the machines' network takes over. Therefore, it is expected that "Halo Infinite" will attempt to prevent Cortana from taking over the entire galaxy.

However, the Banished, first introduced in Halo Wars 2, a real-time strategy game set in the Halo universe, are a group of mercenaries who have defected from the Covenant Empire and are now traveling the galaxy looting technology and resources. technology and resources across the galaxy. This faction features many of the Jiralhanae and Brutes, barbaric enemies who first appeared in Halo 2.

Therefore, it is likely that Master Chief will also fight brutes and various constructs in Halo Infinite. Also, judging by the garbled messages in the video, it appears that the exiled are hiding out in another Halo ring, so we expect them to fight using the spacious and dynamic battle space that "Halo Combat" and "Halo 3" provided.

There is also a slight possibility that this is a teaser for "Halo Wars 3," but rumors about that game are few and far between other than the cancelled pitch concept art that surfaced in 2017.

Given that Halo Infinite is only about five months away, it is very likely that the tweet clip is related to Halo infinite. Microsoft has not set a date for its next Xbox showcase in July, but we expect more clarity on this next month.

And we expect "Halo Infinite" to showcase how the Xbox Series X's 12 teraflops of power and fast SSDs will be put to good use. It will also give us some insight into the future of Xbox console gaming.
