The details of the rumor about Halo Infinite 2
As indicated, Halo Infinite 2 was in development on the Slipspace Engine which was developed for the first Infinite. Development continued until a change in leadership in late 2022, when the decision was made to move the franchise to Unreal Engine 5. This led to the cancellation of Halo Infinite 2 on Slipspace.
“The creative team at 343 spent a few months learning Unreal Engine 5 to prepare for the next project,” Rebs said. “This lasted until January 2023, when Microsoft laid off a significant amount of 343 employees, including the entire creative team.” It was added that it is unclear whether the next mainline Halo game whether it’s Halo Infinite 2 but in Unreal Engine 5 or whether it’s a completely different game.
The report also mentioned that the campaign team who was fired “never felt supported” by the studio’s new leadership. It was added that campaign content may be handed over to an external team, without an internal replacement team being created.
Obviously this is a rumor, not official information, and it is not possible to confirm the veracity of what is indicated. For the latest on Halo Studios, here’s our special.
