Halo Infinite isn’t completely open world, but you can revisit previous areas - VG247

Although Halo Infinite doesn’t necessarily have a full-fledged open world, you’ll be able to backtrack and explore previous areas after initially playing through them.

According to said report, associate creative director Paul Crocker said that although you move through new areas as part of the game’s main story, previously visited areas can be reentered after you initially progress past them.

“The simple answer is that it takes place in a huge world that is open and expansive,” Crocker said.

Halo Infinite head of design Jerry Hook elaborated on Crocker’s sentiment, adding details about how this structure feeds into upgrading your equipment.

This new information also makes sense when you consider the map we saw during the Halo Infinite gameplay trailer, which included a variety of different mission objectives.

In related news, Halo Infinite could include a battle royale mode.
