Halo Infinite looks much better in these 4K screenshots

We had our first look at Infinite Halo, the next game of Microsoft’s massive franchise, in July, and the results were … disappointing. The graphics and visuals were not as impressive as you would expect from a next-gen game (the demo ran on a PC “which is representative of the experience gamers will have on Xbox Series X “), and one is vacant. the enemy look even became the infamous Craig meme. The game was postponed to 2021 a few weeks after the demo aired “to make sure the team has enough time to deliver a Halo gaming experience that matches our vision. “

On Thursday, however, developer 343 Industries shared new screenshots of Infinite Halo in 4K from a developing PC version of the game, and the graphics a lot better. We’ve included some of the images below, and I recommend checking out the full-size versions on the Halo Waypoint blog and zooming in – the screenshots are full of detail. (We’ve also included direct links to the full-size images in the captions.)

When you look at them, there are a few caveats to keep in mind: we don’t know how powerful this PC is, we don’t see the game in motion, we don’t have a good idea of ​​how powerful it is. the way the game now appears on consoles and the marketing imagery doesn’t always translate into what you might see in the final product. Yet for Halo fans eagerly awaiting Infinite Halo, these screenshots make the game look pretty good on the right hardware.

The game will also have a day / night cycle, which you can see play out in this collage of images put together by 343 Industries.

Infinite Halo is expected to launch in fall 2021.
