Halo Infinite might have petered out a little bit since launch, but long-time fans are still loving what it has offered the series.

The game was a huge return to form for Halo after a few duds, and its free-to-play multiplayer did a lot for the game's player base. It's still going strong, and despite a small drop-off, is still healthy as it enters its second season.

But, a battle royale mode has long been expected to bring a massive boom back to the game, and has been rumoured for some time - and we've now got another hint that it's on the way.

A New Hint To Halo Battle Royale Has Appeared

As another in a long string of hints to a new Halo battle royale mode, developers Certain Affinity have hinted at their work with 343 Industries.

The team have been rumoured to be behind the mode for some time, and now they've taken to the internet to discuss their work alongside the Halo team.

"We're honoured to say we are deepening our relationship with 343 and have been entrusted with further evolving Halo Infinite in some new and exciting ways." The tweet also comes with a link to some of the job roles that are open at the team, presumably for this new expansion. Interesting.

Could This "Evolution" Be Halo's Battle Royale?

Fans have theorised that this evolution that's mentioned in the tweet could well be the long-awaited battle royale mode - and to be honest, they could be onto something.

So many rumours, leaks and teases have pointed to Certain Affinity working on the mode, and though the announcement that has just been made makes it seem that work is only just getting started, it could actually have been in the works for some time now. Either way, rumours seem to point to the fact that it's coming - though we might have to wait some time for it.

The prospect of a Halo battle royale is one that has been whet the appetites of many players - and frankly, it's only a matter of time before it arrives. Bring it on.
