Has the development of Halo Infinite Battle Royale been officially confirmed?

Despite mounting speculation and evidence, Microsoft has yet to officially confirm the development of a Halo Infinite Battle Royale mode. While rumors, leaks, and a recent announcement from a developer have hinted at the possibility, there has been no official word from the company.

If a Battle Royale mode is in the works, it's been reported that Certain Affinity, a studio made up of former Bungie developers who have worked on the Halo franchise alongside 343 Industries, is leading the project. According to industry insider Jez Corden, Certain Affinity has been working on a standalone project codenamed 'Tatanka' since spring 2020, which has fueled speculation that it may be a BR mode.

The use of the codename 'Tatanka' is particularly intriguing, as it refers to a former professional wrestler who won a 40-man battle royal match. While Microsoft has remained tight-lipped on the matter, the various clues and reports suggest that a Halo Infinite Battle Royale may be in the works.

 Despite Microsoft's lack of official confirmation, there have been numerous leaks about the potential Halo Infinite Battle Royale mode in recent months. These leaks have provided information about various aspects of the mode, including the codename and specific in-game settings.

According to the leaks, the BR mode will feature four different playlists, with players having the option to play solo or as part of a team. Two lobby sizes may be supported, with one accommodating twenty teams of three players and the other accommodating twenty-five teams of four players. In addition, leaked settings suggest that players will drop into the BR map using ODST-style 'Drop Pods' and that there will be a 'containment zone' that shrinks over time.

The leaks also reveal that players may have access to unique side missions in the BR mode, such as capturing zones, supply runs, and destroying bases. However, it's worth noting that the recent news of a major rework and overhaul to the game may have rendered these leaks inaccurate. As more details emerge in the coming months, we will update you here.
