Halo Developers Not Interested In Battle Royale for Halo Infinite
However, 343 Industries, the folks who bring us Halo, at least, are not interested in doing that for now. In a recent Halo stream on Mixer, Jeff Easterling, a writer at 343, shot down the idea of there being a battle royale mode in Halo, including the upcoming Halo Infinite, pretty conclusively.
“I’ll tell you right now, the only BR we’re interested in is Battle Rifle. The original BR. So, calm yourself,” he said.
While his comments sound like they were made jokingly, I do think there is an element of truth to them if you consider where Infinite currently is in its development cycle- it’s presumably a few years away from release, and it’s hard to even tell if battle royale will be as big of a deal by the time it is out. We have previously seen many trends in multiplayer gaming being short lived fads falling by the wayside.
For 343 Industries, who presumably want the new Halo game to win back lapsed fans, diverting resources to a new mode Halo has never been known for, and that might not even be popular by the time the game is out, wouldn’t make a lot of sense.
Halo: Infinite was announced at E3 last month, without any release window.

I expect battle royale to start getting stale within a year, so personally I'm glad. I'm sick of it already tbh

coolbunny1234 Infinite will be good and I'm glad that they see the value of trying to deliver a product that tried and true Halo fans know and love.

Two_FacedKatieMaze For a second I didn't read "not" and thought they were really doing it. My goodness thank god they aren't it would've been a terrible idea. Halo is NOT a one life game, it never has been and never will. That's why they don't have a competitive game type like search and destroy.
they do look at breakout
They do have a competitive, one life mode. Although it was a flop.
It's also from halo 5, the game the majority of halo fans can't stand, or didn't even buy. The true halo gameplay that we all know and love, that we won't ever get again, wouldn't alllow for it. The game was just better with multiple lives
