After a long wait, a year-long delay, betas, and plenty of previews and trailers too, it’s finally time for Halo Infinite. The next installment in the franchise drops this week across Xbox and PC.

I’m very excited about Halo Infinite. After playing a lot of the multiplayer that was released last month, I’m ready to dig into the campaign. From what I’ve played of the multiplayer, I’m excited. If 343 can make a more open-world-like Halo work and it feels as tight to play as the online action I’ve experienced so far, we might have something very special on our hands. As a lifelong Halo fan, I’m ready to go.
