A Halo Infinite battle royale mode has possibly leaked, again. Halo Infinite has been out on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X for a few months now, and there's still official word from 343 Industries if it's planning to bolster the free-to-play multiplayer offering with a battle royale mode. And we still don't have anything from 343 Industries, but we do have a new leak, courtesy of the game's files, that seems to point towards the existence of a battle royale mode, or at least a mode with battle royale elements.

Taking to Twitter, HaloHub relayed word of this new mode, accompanied by an image bolstering the claim. According HaloHub and the image they provide, a successor to Halo 5's Warzone is in development, but with Battle Royale mode elements sprinkled in. That said, HaloHub doesn't expect this mode to release anytime soon.

"It looks like a successor to Halo 5's Warzone may be in the works with Battle Royale-like characteristics," reads the tweet relaying the leak. "We received these screenshots recently and know others have too. Note: We don't expect this mode to release anytime soon."

Like any leak, this should be taken with a grain of salt. While HaloHub is a reputable source and they have some accompanying media, this media was sent to them by an unidentified source that we can't run a track-record test on. At the moment of publishing, 343 Industries and Xbox have not addressed any of this in any capacity. We don't anticipate this changing for a variety of reasons, but if it does, we will let you know.

Halo Infinite is available via the Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and PC.
