Microsoft`s press conference at E3 2019 featured plenty of new Halo Infinite details. Almost a year after it was first announced, Microsoft revealed the game`s release window, confirmed it will be a launch title for Xbox Project Scarlett--in addition to launching on Xbox One and PC--and showed off a new cinematic trailer.Now, Microsoft has shared a blog post on Xbox Wire from Brian Jarrard, community director at Halo Infinite developer 343 Industries. `Like last year´s reveal trailer, this latest look at Halo Infinite is powered by our new Slipspace Engine--an engine built from the ground up to realize our incredibly ambitious aspirations for the future of the franchise,` Jarrard writes. `Which yes, also includes the long-awaited return of split-screen support to the series.`Halo has a legacy of featuring couch co-op in both the campaign and multiplayer portions of its games. Fans of the series were miffed when Halo 5: Guardians--the last item in the series--neglected any sort of split-screen functionality, so the reaffirmation that Halo Infinite will support split-screen is welcome news. Most Halo players likely have fond memories of playing through each campaign with a friend by their side. Even if local co-op isn`t as prominent as it was prior to online gaming becoming so widespread, it`s fantastic that Halo Infinite is still sticking to the series` roots in this regard.Halo Infinite is set for release in Q4, 2020 for Xbox Project Scarlett, Xbox One, and PC.
