Halo Infinite - Infection mode returns

The Infection Mode is Coming to Season 4 of Halo Infinite

It's official: the popular Infection mode will be introduced in the fourth season of Halo Infinite, which starts next month. 343 Industries announced this via a tweet on the official Halo social media channels. Players can look forward to an action-packed survival scenario starting June 20th.

The Infection mode is a zombie PvP mode where infected Spartans try to infect their healthy comrades. It was very popular in previous Halo games but was missing from the release of Halo Infinite in 2021.

Microsoft promises more "consistency" in seasonal updates

Recently, Microsoft has announced its intention to provide more "consistency" in the seasonal updates of Halo Infinite. The third season started in March, and the fourth season is set to begin next month. It will bring a new progression system and the long-awaited Infection mode.

Departures at 343 Industries

There have been some high-profile departures at 343 Industries recently, including former Halo developer Frank O'Connor, Multiplayer Creative Director Tom French, and former Halo Director Joseph Staten. Despite these personnel changes, the company emphasized in a brief statement that the development of Halo will continue in the future, and the brand and Master Chief will remain.

What can players expect from the Infection mode?

The Infection mode is an exciting PvP mode that challenges players to think strategically and work together to ensure the survival of their group. The infected Spartans are very powerful and will do everything in their power to infect their healthy comrades. As an uninfected Spartan, it is up to you to defend against the attacks of the undead warriors and protect your teammates from the fate of infection.

Other new features in Season 4

In addition to the Infection mode, the fourth season of Halo Infinite will bring other new features and improvements. This includes the new progression system, which is intended to offer players more opportunities to improve and upgrade their characters. Additionally, we can look forward to new content, skins, and cosmetic items that will be released throughout the season.

Conclusion: Infection mode brings fresh air to Halo Infinite

The introduction of the Infection mode in the fourth season of Halo Infinite will certainly bring some fresh air to the game and delight many fans of the older titles. The developers at 343 Industries seem to be aware of their players' desires and are constantly working to improve the gaming experience. We are excited to see what the future holds!
