In a significant announcement for gamers, Halo Studios, a division of Microsoft’s Xbox Game Studios, has revealed that the next major update for Halo Infinite will also mark the conclusion of substantial updates for this popular first-person shooter. Scheduled for release on November 18, the update is titled Operation: Infinite and signifies a pivotal shift as the development team shifts focus to multiple upcoming Halo titles.
As part of this transition, Xbox has previously announced the development of Halo: Campaign Evolved, a remake of the original game, Halo: Combat Evolved, which is set to launch in 2026. This highly anticipated title will be accessible on Xbox, PC, and PS5, expanding the franchise’s reach beyond its traditional platforms. Additionally, unverified reports suggest that Halo Studios is also working on a new multiplayer live service project that draws inspiration from the immensely popular game, Fortnite.
Operation: Infinite promises to enhance the gaming experience significantly. Players will enjoy a doubled earning rate for both Career Rank and Spartan Points. The final free Operation Pass will not have an expiration date, allowing players to unlock three new armor sets without any time constraints. For those looking to elevate their gameplay, upgrading to the 100-tier Premium Pass offers an exciting opportunity to unlock an additional five unique armor sets, six weapon models, and over 30 exclusive Spartan customizations.
In addition to the new customization options, the last major update will introduce an innovative asymmetrical map designed specifically for select Ranked modes, encouraging competitive gameplay. While Operation: Infinite serves as the final significant update, Halo Infinite will continue to offer a rotating selection of daily and weekly challenges. Players can also look forward to a new slate of Ranked Seasons, ensuring that the game remains engaging for those who wish to continue their journey in the Halo universe.
The upcoming Operation: Infinite update marks a bittersweet moment for the Halo Infinite community, as it signifies the end of major updates while paving the way for new adventures in the Halo franchise. With the promise of new titles on the horizon and ongoing challenges for dedicated players, the legacy of Halo continues to thrive.
