As of September 25, 2015, planning had already begun on the game, and its story was in production, with the writing process having already commenced in some capacity.[5] Halo Infinite will have a story that is “much more human” than Halo 5: Guardians',[6] and will “double down” on Master Chief, giving him more focus than he received in the previous game.[7]

Halo Infinite will likely feature the cooperative play system of Halo 5: Guardians.[6] Furthermore, it will support splitscreen[8] and it will have a beta prior to its release.[9] There will be no Battle Royale mode featured according to Jeff Easterling's claim “The only BR we're interested in is the Battle Rifle”, in response to the popular trend during a livestream.[10] Halo Infinite was not present at E3 2017, and at the time, Jeff Easterling stated in a Halo Waypoint blog post that its reveal “won't be soon”,[11] implying a longer than usual development cycle for a main Halo game.
