News regardingHalo Infinite, Xbox’s major launch title for the Xbox Series X, is certain to arrive soon. Rumors indicate that May event could see the Xbox team sharing more information about upcoming Xbox Series X games and hopefullyHalo Infinite, too. Until then, however,Halofans are relying on leaks for morsels of information. Luckily, another seems to have just been discovered that reveals the return of a classicHaloenemy and introduces what could be a brand new weapon.
The leak comes via a now-deleted post on Twitter that featured photos of two unannouncedHalo Infinitetoys. The surprise is that one of the two toys is a Brute, an enemy faction associated with the Covenant first introduced inHalo 2.The Brutes have been absent from bothHalo 4andHalo 5due to the narrative moving in a different direction.

As for why the Brutes will be returning inHalo Infinite, it’s anyone’s guess. The two toys are for the Brute Warrior and a Spartan Gungnir. The Brute Warrior is wearing armor that looks a lot like a member of theBanished faction fromHalo Wars 2, specifically. The Banished are a splinter faction of Brutes that rebelled against the Covenant. The Banished battled against the USNC throughoutHalo Wars 2and the story is left without a conclusion. The Banished could definitely be coming back.
Another notable detail from the toy is the Brute Warrior’s weapon. It’s unlike anything previously seen in aHalogame, meaning it’s likely something made forHalo Infinite. It could be a Brute rifle of sorts. TheSpartan Gungniris always holding a new weapon that looks like a sort of heavy pistol.
The Spartan Gungnir toy doesn’t provide any additional insight. At first glance, it may even look like a Brute, since its body is of a similar size to the Brute Warrior toy. That’s likely just due to the shape of the toys, however. Mega Construx’s toys are great, but are not premium ultra-detailedaction figures.
Xbox clearly has big plans in store forHalo Infinite. There now seems to be a connection toHalo Wars 2, which shows just how broad the scope of the game’s story will be. That there are new weapons won’t come as a surprise, of course.Halo Infinitewill likely be the biggest multiplayer experience in aHalogame yet. Seeing these leaked details is fun for now, though, at least until Xbox is ready to revealmore officialHalo Infiniteinformation.
