Is Halo Infinite The Last Installment To The Reclaimer Saga? Everything Points To No
Halo Infinite has been revealed at E3 2018 as the next installment to 343 Industries’ Reclaimer Trilogy. Will it be the last installment or is it true that the company has changed their initial plans? Here’s some insight on the matter.
Following Bungie’s split from Microsoft after the original Halo trilogy, 343 Industries continued the franchise with the Reclaimer saga. Halo 4, was announced at E3 2011 as the first entry in what would be a new series of Halo games, the “Reclaimer Trilogy”. In a new addition to the series, a story-driven multiplayer campaign entitled Spartan Ops was released over the weeks following Halo 4‘s release, telling what happened after the end of the main game.
Halo 5: Guardians, the sequel to Halo 4, was released for the Xbox One on October 27, 2015. The game takes place on many different worlds, mainly the Covenant’s, and revolves around Spartan Locke’s hunt of Master Chief. The next chapter, Halo Infinite, was announced during E3 2018. Is it the last though?
We already knew that 343 Industries has revealed that their plans for the Reclaimer saga have changed and that it will be a trilogy no more. That’s why they supposedly changed the name of the franchise from Reclaimer Trilogy to Reclaimer Saga. Fans are not convinced that this is indeed happening but there’s no indications pointing otherwise. Even if there’s only one title left for the Reclaimer, Halo Infinite could be a spinoff title or a prequel of sorts.
All we become clear as soon as 343 Industries and Microsoft start revealing more information on Halo Infinite. We still have no news about the upcoming title, other than a few facts and its reveal teaser trailer – engine demo. For now, all we have to do is wait and trust Microsoft when they said that the Halo franchise has still future in it.
