Halo Infinite to get surprise 3rd-person mode next month

With Halo Infinite failing to become the decade-long platform that Microsoft and 343 Industries were hoping it would evolve into, there have been many leaks and rumours discussing the team’s plan for the franchise’s future. In amongst talk of a switch to Unreal Engine 5 as well as a remake of Halo: Combat Evolved, 343i have announced a surprise 3rd-person mode coming to Infinite next month.

In amongst the most recent Halo World Championships, 343 Industries teased a few future features coming to Halo Infinite.

By far the most surprising was the announcement that the game is set to get a 3rd-person mode next month, saying “Experience a new way to play! 3rd Person Mode is coming to Halo Infinite this November.”

Details on this new mode are light right now, however the team did release a brief video showing snippets of gameplay – seemingly confirming that you will be able to switch perspectives at will.

Given the face that Halo Infinite is unlikely to see long-term success, this recent announcement is probably a part of 343i’s future plans for whatever is set to come next after Infinite.

It’ll be interesting to see exactly how this upcoming feature is implemented – and whether it will be limited to specific modes. We won’t have to wait long to find out.
