Certain Affinity is working on a big new game mode for Halo Infinite

Back in April, Halo Infinite support studio, Certain Affinity, announced that it was ‘deepening' its partnership with 343 Industries. At the time, this was heavily rumoured to be a Battle Royale mode. We still don't have confirmation or denial on that, but Certain Affinity does currently have a huge team working on something ‘big and new'. 

Certain Affinity CEO, Max Hoberman, spoke to VentureBeat about the studio's on-going projects in an interview, confirming that the studio is “doing lead development” on an unannounced mode for Halo Infinite. This is the studio's largest project right now, with around 100 developers working on it.

Interestingly, Hoberman also reveals that the studio has been working on the mode for two years already. Previously, clues datamined from Halo Infinite showed that a Battle Royale mode of some kind was being explored. Other reporters also claimed to have heard about Infinite's impending large-scale multiplayer mode.

Officially, a Halo Battle Royale has not been announced. It was first thought that the mode would be a big late 2022 release for Microsoft, but the Xbox Games Showcase came and went without any official news. 343 recently revamped its multiplayer roadmap and shifted resources around to try and deliver quicker updates starting in 2023.

KitGuru Says: The standard Battle Royale formula is pretty played out at this point, so it will be interesting to see if Halo's take on it can bring some creative new twists. Of course, Halo Battle Royale is still just a rumour, and has not yet been announced. That should change in 2023 though.
