History VideoGame / HaloInfinite

* SequelGap: Not extreme, but previous main line Halo games consistently came out three years apart. After Halo 5's release (and subsequent mixed reception), there was a distinct lack of information on when this game would come out. It took three years for a teaser, and nearly another year for a more official first trailer announcing Holiday 2020, making it five years.

* ArtEvolution: According to WordOfGod, art director Nicolas Bouvier will be "drawing significant inspiration from the most iconic and historic parts of the Halo franchise." As such, the E3 trailer showed a more Bungie-style Mjolnir armor on Master Chief. [[invoked]] [[note]]Specifically, the armor resembles his Mark IV suit from [[Anime/HaloLegends The Package]] and [[Film/Halo4ForwardUntoDawn Forward Unto Dawn]]. [[/note]]

The game has no release date. According to 343 Industries studio head Chris Lee, "We still have a long way to go until we ship the game."

* StoppedNumberingSequels: Similar to ''VideoGame/HaloReach'', which was previously the only game in the main series to not feature a number. Though it's played straight this time around, since ''Infinite'' is a direct continuation from ''Halo 5's'' story (i.e. it technically is ''Halo 6'') whereas Reach was a spinoff title and a prequel to ''[[VideoGame/HaloCombatEvolved CE]]''.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: The E3 2018 teaser featured a species of the genus ''[[UsefulNotes/PrehistoricLifeMammals Megacerops]]'', resembling ''Brontotherium''. Considering the world is a Halo ring, it's unknown if it's a parallel alien species or a population transplanted from (or in the past ''to'') ancient Earth.
