The Halo Infinite pilot is the game’s personal distinctive spin on Cortana, the holographic blue girl Master Chief used to beat up Grunts with.
Cortana was with Chief proper from the beginning, and was designed to maintain him comparatively in test. After an emotional journey throughout three games, Cortana sadly handed away in Halo 4 – not a spoiler, it got here out actually eight years in the past – earlier than returning as a baddie in Halo 5. Somehow she was not as lifeless as she appeared, and had determined, “actually John Halo, fuck you.”
So Cortana’s not finest buds with the Chief. Got it. But who’s this new character within the Infinite trailers? This very plain-looking man who is completely peculiar and milquetoast in each sense of the phrase. It’s Cortana’s alternative, clearly! The Halo Infinite pilot.
But severely, this isn’t simply hypothesis – that is information coming from a YouTube video revealed by Alanah Pearce, which you’ll take a look at beneath.
If you skip to three:10 (though it’s best to most likely simply watch the entire thing, to be truthful), you’ll hear Pearce clarify that Halo Infinite wanted a Cortana alternative.
“He’s supposed to be a very important character,” says Pearce. “I think he’s going to be like your Cortana. He’s the human to balance out the Chief. They said he’s like the most normal guy they could have made.”
That final half rings very true.
So yeah, Cortana and Chief had a little bit of a falling out and now this lad is stepping in to present Chief a hand. Finds him asleep and tells him to get up, that form of factor. I reckon the Halo Infinite pilot appears alright, truly.
In associated information, Halo has grappling hooks now. You can see them in motion within the official Halo Infinite trailer, which is a lot better than the gameplay proven throughout yesterday’s Xbox occasion. It’s since been revealed that the demo footage was from an early build of the game.
