Microsoft’s conference isn’t complete without Halo, and we finally have a deeper look into Halo Infinite. The visuals look pretty good, and honestly, it is a step up from its earlier showcase, so that’s a positive sign.
Another good news is that multiplayer is going to be free, and there are no strings attached. Players will take the role of Master Chief, and in the gameplay video, we see Chief exploring an exploded ship looking for Cortana, his only partner, for the last 20 years.
Searching for Cortana, he ends up running into a different AI that agrees to be his new companion. Have a look at the video for more info. Halo Infinite will be released later in 2021.

Forza Horizon 5: New Forza Installment Unveiled
One of the biggest reveals of the conference is none other than the fifth installment in the Forza Horizon series. Forza Horizon 5 looks absolutely stunning, and the trailer goes to show the level of detailing incorporated in the game.
The open fields, rocks, water detail with raindrops dripping, the vastness of the playing area are legit praiseworthy. Forza Horizon 5 is set in Mexico, and the dynamic weather adds the cherry on top. Racing amid thunderstorms, erupting volcanoes, and sandstorms is what we need from the new game.
Mike Brown discusses the power of the next-gen Xbox consoles that allows them to capture every last detail of the environment (e.g., even the individual needles of the cactuses), thereby allowing the scene to appear like that in real life. Check out the full video for more information.
Arkane Studios Announces New Title, ‘Redfall’
We finally have Xbox’s Phil Spencer closing the event with the surprise reveal of a brand new original game from Arkane Studios, the same studio responsible for the Dishonored series.
The new title is called ‘Redfall,’ and it is an open-world shooter featuring both single and multiplayer modes. The gameplay looks more or less similar to that of the Dishonored series. The characters have special powers as they fight against VAMPIRES, who seem to have quite the control over the locals.
Redfall will come out in 2022, and it’s an Xbox exclusive.
With this, we have come to the end of the presentation, and what an amazing night we have had so far. Tune in tomorrow for more E3 action.
