The excitement around Halo is reaching new heights as fans prepare for the last update to Halo: Infinite. With this update, the developers are turning their focus to new horizons, including the highly anticipated Halo: Campaign Evolved. This remake of the seminal 2001 campaign promises to bring new life to the classic game using the power of Unreal Engine 5. Beyond this, whispers in the gaming community suggest that we might see remakes of the second and third Halo campaigns, and work is already underway on the next major entry in the franchise.
Final Update for Halo: Infinite
On November 18, the final update for Halo: Infinite, named Operation: Infinite, will be unveiled. This update aims to enhance player experience by doubling the earning rate for Career Rank and Spartan Points (SP) across all matchmaking playlists, making it easier to reach the maximum level and unlock the iconic Mark VI armor kit, familiar to fans as the gear worn by Master Chief.
New Content and Features
Players can look forward to a free 100-tier Operation Pass and a Premium Pass, both packed with new gear and without an expiration date. The free pass offers three new armor sets—Serpin, Seeker, and Adamant—alongside coatings, visors, and stances. The Premium Pass grants access to five exclusive armor sets and six weapon models, with immediate rewards like the Charged Quill Shock Rifle model and Phoenix Gold weapon coating. Furthermore, more than 200 brand-new customization items are being added to The Exchange, featuring a vast array of armor pieces, coatings, charms, and more.
New Maps and Challenges
Adding to the excitement, a festive map named Yuletide will be available in Quick Play, while the new asymmetrical map, Vacancy, will be introduced to various ranked playlists. Future Ranked Seasons will commence every few months, offering top players the chance to earn exclusive Spartan customizations. Although Operation: Infinite is the final update, players can still enjoy Daily and Weekly Challenges to earn rewards and progress through Operation Passes. The last update for Halo: Infinite sets the stage for future adventures and exciting new projects in the Halo universe. For more details, check out the Community Livestream below.
