The Halo franchise is in a bit of a strange spot right now. Once the crown jewel of Xbox's first-party line-up, Halo has undoubtedly lost its shine, at least a little. While 343 Industries hasn't done an awful job with the Halo license, it's definitely made some pretty big fumbles over the last few years, and Halo Infinite has unfortunately been one of those. Though Halo Infinite's multiplayer was deemed as a great return to form upon its initial release, 343's lackluster approach to the live-service model left fans disappointed within months, but the Halo franchise isn't down for the count just yet.

Despite where the franchise began at the start of the year, 2023 has actually been a pretty solid one for Halo. Slowly but surely, Halo Infinite is becoming the game that fans always wanted it to be, with campaign co-op, Forge, and Firefight finally all in the game. And, hopefully, this is just the start of what 343 Industries has in store for the future of the Halo franchise.

After the Halo franchise's rocky number of years, fans have been left wanting something to restore the series to its roots, and remakes may do that.

Halo Infinite Will See More Updates in 2024

Currently, there is no official 2024 roadmap for Halo Infinite. That being said, 343 Industries has been pretty upfront about its plans with at least the multiplayer portion of the game, stating on multiple occasions that it plans to continue support for Halo Infinite for a good while yet. Therefore, fans can expect to see Halo Infinite receive frequent updates throughout 2024, hopefully appearing at a slightly more consistent rate than in previous years.

Halo Infinite's current Season, Reckoning, is set to end on January 30 alongside the third annual Winter Contingency in-game event. Though it hasn't been confirmed, many fans are assuming that Halo Infinite's sixth Season will drop immediately after it. Regardless of when Halo Infinite's next Season does appear, fans can probably expect to see a handful of new maps, new modes, new armor cosmetics, new weapons, and maybe even some new vehicles all appear in the game during the course of 2024.

Halo Season 2 Premieres in February 2024

Released back in March 2022, the first season of Paramount+'s Halo show proved to be pretty controversial from start to finish. Bending and even breaking the Halo universe's lore to fit its own narrative, many die-hard Halo fans weren't too happy with the live-action show, but its viewing numbers proved to be impressive regardless, and a second season was green-lit immediately.

The overall product may have been fairly disappointing, but Paramount+'s Halo show wasn't all bad, with Pablo Schreiber putting in an excellent performance as the Master Chief, and the series' action sequences managing to bring the frenetic energy of the games' combat to life on-screen. With some better writing behind it and more of a return to the series' lore, Halo could easily redeem itself, and quickly become a dream come true for fans.

It won't be long before fans get another chance to see if they like the Halo show, as season 2 is right around the corner. Debuting with two episodes on February 8, 2024, Halo Season 2 seemingly revolves around the Fall of Reach, one of the most iconic in-universe events in the entire Halo franchise, and the setting of the beloved 2010 spinoff Halo: Reach. If anything can redeem the Halo show, it's a faithful on-screen adaptation of the Fall of Reach.
