Halo Infinite launch trailer teases Master Chief’s fate

It’s nearly time for Halo’s hero to return.

To celebrate Halo Infinite’s  upcoming launch, 343 Industries released a story trailer for the campaign mode. 

Set several years after the events of  Halo 5: Guardians, Master Chief is back and investigating the mysterious Zeta Halo ring. In the new trailer, a mysterious voice appears to be calling to Chief. 

“If you knew you were going to die,” it says. “How would you lead your life differently?”

That disembodied voice sure sounds like actress Jen Taylor, who plays Cortana and the new character called “The Weapon” in Halo Infinite. Though it’s unclear which of the two characters is speaking, my money is on Cortana, though. Given Chief is on screen when the question is posed, it seems like whoever is asking is directing it at him.

Check it out for yourself below.

Of course, the trailer is rife with glorious explosions and aliens regretting that they ever crossed Chief’s path, which  lines up with what we experienced while previewing the campaign. Here’s to hoping Joseph Staten is back voicing grunts again as he did in  past Halo  titles. We’ll find out once the game releases on Dec. 8.

Meanwhile, the  multiplayer beta for Halo Infinite  is still going strong. There’s been, well, a lot of fans vocal about how much they  dislike its battle pass. 343 Industries is already updating how progression works, though, including how much experience points players gain from completing challenges.
