Halo Infinite Campaign Will Support Local 2-Player, 4-Player Online Split Screen

343 Industries has confirmed that the Halo Infinite campaign will support local split screen for 2 players and up to 4 players online. Jerry Hook, chief designer at 343 Industries, took to Twitter to clarify that while Halo Infinite will support 4-player split screen online, those who play locally will only be able to do so with someone else.

This news follows the Halo Infinite reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, where fans of the franchise that started in 2001 got their first look at the new campaign.

This new entry will make Halo open up the world, with upgrades to discover and new weapons to find. Also, Halo Infinite will be the platform for new Halo experiences for the foreseeable future, so don’t expect a Halo Infinite 2 / Halo 7 in the near future.

Halo Infinite takes place after the end of Halo 5, with a rampant Cortana missing and the Master Chief adrift in space. For those new to the series, Halo Infinite is meant to be a great starting point for new fans, but those who know the Halo story will be rewarded.

Halo Infinite led the Xbox Game Showcase which also revealed a new Fable, State of Decay 3, Forza Motorsport, Obsidian’s Avowed and much more.
