Halodeveloper 343 Industries has published ablog postthat, among other things, confirms that theHalo Infinitegameplay demo shown off during theXbox Series X July eventwas using an older build. Specifically, 343 Industries stated that it was from a “work-in-progress several weeks old.” 343 went on to say that a variety of graphical systems are still being worked on prior to the game’s full release.

This news was in direct response to the concerns over Halo Infinite’s visuals, which many thought looked flat and lacking in detail. 343 also noted that this feedback “brought new opportunities and considerations to light that the team is taking very seriously and working to assess.” Hopefully by the time Halo Infinite comes out, things will look more visually impressive than they did during the Xbox Series X show.

Halo Infinite is expected to launch onXbox Series X, Xbox One, and Windows 10 PCs for $60 in the Holiday 2020 season. For more on the gameplay demo, make sure you don’t miss our article onthings we liked and disliked about itas well assome of the questions we have for the game after watching it.
