Microsoft and studio 343 Industries have released the official Halo Infinite launch trailer. The trailer will likely be one of the last major promotional videos Microsoft releases for Infinite ahead of the game's official release on December 8 for Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One.
The launch trailer is epic in scope, showing new scenes for the game's highly anticipated campaign mode. The trailer further shows off one of the main antagonists, the Brute known as Escharum. The video also shows more scenes between Master Chief and Cortana. The coolest part of the trailer was the reveal of the Red Elite with the dueling Red Energy Swords. It is unknown if this Elite will be a named character, or it will be a new type of enemy that Master Chief will have to face.

The launch trailer also highlights Infinite's map opening, showing Master Chief traversing the game's frame in various ways. The franchise's iconic Scorpion Tank also makes an appearance, briefly shown being lifted into the air as it continues to spin.
The trailer calls Infinite "the greatest Halo of all time." This tagline is part of Microsoft's strong push to make Halo one of the biggest launches in Xbox history. Previous videos like the UNSC Archives and the "Forever We Fight" trailer have high production values that use live action footage. There is also the other promotional slogan "Become", which is to encourage fans to become the Master Chief.
Halo Infinite's online multiplayer is ready to play right now for those who have Game Pass or have already pre-ordered the game. To read guides on the game's multiplayer, keep reading on Thekingplayers.
