Halo Infiniteis slowly edging towards its second season of content, but many of its core features, such as co-operative campaign multiplayer, are still pending. While more updates and content releases are already planned for the near and far future, it seems inevitable that developer 343 Games has a few tricks up its sleeve as well.
One of these tricks may, in fact, be a reintroduction ofHalo 5’s classic Warzone multiplayer, albeit in an altered format, with some elements of modern battle royale titles added on top. Namely, a recentHalo Infiniteleak has revealed a work-in-progress match modifier menu that hides a number of curious Warzone-like features, among other things.

While major gaming personalities have already been leaking heaps of information about thepurportedHalo Infinitebattle royale mode, there’s been no official announcement from 343 of any sort, nor were there any real indications that there was work being done on such a mode in the first place. HaloHub’s photographs clearly show aHalo Infinitemode modifier menu with a variety of Warzone-themed options, including the ability to respawn via drop pods, containment zone toggles, and more.
It’s worth pointing out thatHalo 5’s Warzone mode doesn’t have all that much to do with the more popularCall of Duty: Warzone. InHalo, Warzone was a special PvPvE game mode where two teams of up to 12 players competed against one another in capturing bases, taking down enemies (bots and otherwise), and destroying energy cores. The initialHalo Infinitebattle royale leaks suggested campaign connectionsof some sort, though there’s no telling if that’s what’s being shown off with these latest leaks.
According to the leak, players shouldn’t expect this new “Warzone” battle royale to launch anytime soon, which isn’t great news for the game’s community. With campaign co-op mode, multiplayer Forge editor, and the supposed battle royale mode still deep in production, an argument could be made thatHalo Infiniteshould get more multiplayer contentinstead. Whether Season 2 - Lone Wolves manages to accomplish that goal or not, however, remains to be seen.
A potential issue with all these content release delays and pushbacks is thatHalo Infiniteplayers may lose interest in co-opby the time this feature is out. Whatever the new leaked multiplayer mode is, it may be facing the same risk if it takes too long for the team to push it out.
Halo Infiniteis now available on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series consoles.
