Halo Infinite Sequel is Happening, But There’s a Catch

by

Summary

  • Halo Infinite sequel, Halo: Edge of Dawn, continues Master Chief’s story post-Infinite in book form.
  • Fans had long awaited post-Infinite story content, but rumors of DLC were canceled.
  • The choice to continue Master Chief’s story in a book may leave non-book readers feeling confused about the Halo narrative.

It’s exciting to know that a sequel for Halo Infinite is indeed in development, providing fans with a glimpse into what Master Chief has been doing post the game’s narrative conclusion. However, it’s worth noting that this announcement about the Halo Infinite sequel does come with an important condition.

The game titled “Halo Infinite” was unveiled in December 2021, marking the most recent addition to the prolonged first-person shooter series. So far, it is the latest installment to star the legendary Master Chief character. Ever since its release, fans have been curious about the fate of this iconic hero. Following the game’s launch, whispers about potential story DLC circulated, which might have delved deeper into the adventures of Master Chief post-main storyline. However, by early 2023, it was reported that Halo Infinite had scrapped plans for new narrative content, leaving Master Chief’s tale untouched since then.

According to a recent blog post on Canon Fodder, it’s official: Master Chief’s tale doesn’t end with Halo Infinite. Instead, we’ll be following his journey in the novel, Halo: Edge of Dawn, penned by author Kelly Gay. Previously, the existence of this story was hinted at in January, but now we know for certain that it picks up after the events of Halo Infinite. The plot revolves around Master Chief searching for a key to unravel deeper secrets within the ancient ringworld on Zeta Halo, as suggested by the synopsis. Fans eager to find out what happens next will have to explore this story through the medium of a book rather than a game.

Halo: Edge of Dawn Book Confirmed as Sequel To Infinite’s Story

I’m curious to find out what Halo fans think about the latest release, Halo: Edge of Dawn. A common complaint about the Halo games produced by 343 Industries has been that the storyline isn’t always consistent, with important plot points often explained in books published between titles. This can leave players who don’t read these books feeling puzzled when starting a new game, especially since the story often changes significantly from one title to another. Let’s see if Halo: Edge of Dawn follows this pattern.

Although Halo: Edge of Dawn might not be the sequel Halo fans are eagerly anticipating, there’s still lots to look forward to in the future. The rebranding of 343 Industries to Halo Studios suggests a new era for the franchise, and whispers about a major announcement from the Halo series later this year have sparked intrigue. As of now, everything remains uncertain, so fans will simply need to keep their eyes peeled for updates.
