Halo Infinite is out in December for Xbox consoles and PC, and after the campaign being missing in action for sometime today comes a brand new look at gameplay. In addition to sporting a smooth and impressive visual overhaul compared to the game's debut last year -- we also get to see how the Halo sandbox transitions to an open world where Master Chief has a sweet grapple and access to a number of toys.

As much as you can call a Banshee or Warthog a toy. Check it out in sweet 4K.

The Banished have defeated UNSC forces and taken control of the mysterious Zeta Halo, threatening the survival of humankind. When all hope is lost and humanity’s fate hangs in the balance, the Master Chief returns to confront the most ruthless foe he’s ever faced. Here’s a fresh look at the Halo Infinite campaign that introduces players to true Spartan freedom in the biggest, most wide open and adventure-filled Halo experience yet, launching on December 8 2021.

There's some definite story goodness here, with the setting of Zeta Halo presenting an open world to explore, something that is being touted as the biggest campaign to date. You can call in vehicles and explore on foot or through the air, with enemy encampments to take out and some fun looking boss encounters too. Best of all though the verticality and transition from up high to on the ground looks great -- no doubt a big focus here has been on capturing and refining that Halo feel. Having an open world with points of interest and missions is a definite departure, so it's a shame that campaign co-op has been delayed to next year.
