& # 39; Halo Infinite & # 39; is currently the largest and most expensive project in the game

The rumor has struck again, claiming this time that the 343 industries Halo Infinity is currently the largest and most expensive game in development, with a budget of more than $ 500 million, not counting marketing costs. That's right, there is a rumor / report circulating currently that claims that the next installment in the Halo The series costs half a billion on development costs. The "report" comes from the German take Xbox Dynasty, where it is asserted that Halo Infinite currently dwarf development costs even the likes of Rockstar Games Red Dead Redemption 2. For those who do not know: Rockstar Games is well known for having devoted more resources to its games than any other player in the industry. But apparently, Microsoft gave a blank check to 343 Industries.

Of course, there are a multitude of reasons why this should be taken with the largest grain of salt you can find. For its part, the source, Xbox Dynasty, has no history of reliable scoops. In other words, it's not the Kotaku or the Wall Street Journal, and that's important.

Second, it's hard to imagine that Microsoft's 343 Industries would spend more than $ 500 million on development costs. If the $ 500 million included marketing costs, it would be one thing, but what the heck could 343 Industries gain from spending so much money?

Three, Halo Infinite is a shooter. Of course, 343 Industries talked about the game as a step forward for the series. In fact, there has been a lot of gossip from 343 and reports reporting elsewhere the ambition of the game. But we are talking about Halo – it'll be a shooter in the soul. And the most expensive shooters in history – reestiny, Call of Duty Modern War 2etc. – never exceeded $ 300 million, not to mention $ 500 million. Unless it's the most revolutionary shooter of all time, it does not make sense.

That said, it is possible that this rumor is accurate or at least close to the truth. This is unlikely, but it is possible. Alas, you never know with the rumor.

Halo Infinity is officially in development for PC and Xbox One. At the time of publication, no publication date or even publication window has been announced. For more information, media and information on the highly anticipated shooting game, click here.
