A leak of Infinite Halo revealed voice lines for the well-known game mode “InfectionIt’s a relief for many fans, who are hoping that Halo Infinite will finally add this iconic game type to the catalog.
When Halo Infinite first released in 2021, it received mixed reception from fans, as it lacked many features that had become franchise staples. A notable exclusion was Forge mode, which finally arrived in November 2022.
The response to the developer was so negative that Xbox boss Phil Spencer had to issue a statement reaffirming 343 Industries’ importance to Halo, after rumors suggested he would be stepping down from managing the franchise.
It would be an unusual turnaround, given that 343 Industries was created for the sole purpose of taking over the Halo franchise.
Now, a new leak, from the Halo Leaks YouTube channel, has shown the voice lines of the currently unreleased “Infection” game type. Featured in the footage is iconic announcer Jeff Steitzer, who has narrated multiplayer since 2001’s Halo Combat Evolved.
Additionally, there are voice lines from Iratus of the Banished, suggesting that the infection announcer may change depending on the player’s team. This is backed up by an earlier Halo Infinite Season 3 Alpha leak, which suggested there would be a big focus on Infection Mode in 2023, with Iratus leading the way.
