Cover Reveal – Halo Infinite

After years of waiting, Halo Infinite is almost here. On December 8, players around the world will once again don Master Chief’s Mjolnir boots and fight their way through a massive world of Halo rings. Ahead of the game’s arrival, we’re highlighting Halo Infinite with one of our biggest cover stories in years. We have 20 pages of in-depth detail on Infinite’s campaign and multiplayer, along with a host of interviews with the 343 Industries development team that brought the game to life.

We reviewed the first three hours of the new game and discovered new weapons, equipment, and upgrades. We finally learned about the freeform open world style content that builds on Master Chief’s adventures in Zeta Halo. We discover the fascinating links between this new game and the original Halo: Combat Evolved. And we learned about the exciting mystery at the heart of the story and how it simultaneously connects with the latest game while moving the Halo narrative in a whole new direction. We’ll have a full month of coverage dedicated to Halo Infinite in the lead-up to launch, and you can find that content hub by clicking the banner below. For starters, we’ve delved into Halo Infinite’s exploration and progression features.

In addition to our main cover, we are thrilled to showcase the exclusive cover featured in this month’s Game Informer Gold.

You will also find our personal and up-close profile of indie gaming superstar Edmund McMillen and how his personal and professional life informed games like Super Meat Boy and The Binding of Isaac. We recommend some of the best game-based anime and some of the best Xbox controllers on the market. And we talked to Geoff Keighley about The Game Awards 2021, and we learned what fans can expect from one of the biggest awards shows in entertainment.
