Halo Infinite Esports Era Concludes After 2025 World Championship
343 Industries has announced that Halo Infinite will officially conclude its run as the primary title for the Halo Championship Series (HCS) following the highly anticipated Halo World Championship in October 2025. This decision marks the end of an era for competitive Halo Infinite, which launched its esports journey in 2021.
The announcement clarifies that while official HCS competition will cease for Halo Infinite after the championship, the game will still receive support for community-driven tournaments and online/LAN events in 2026. However, the studio is shifting its focus towards the next phase of the Halo franchise, indicating that a new title will not host official HCS competition in 2026.
Fans and players have a final opportunity to witness and participate in the remaining major HCS events leading up to the October 24-26 World Championship, where the final Halo Infinite world champion will be crowned. The developers expressed deep gratitude to the players, fans, and partners who contributed to Halo Infinite’s significant four-year tenure in competitive esports, making it the longest-running single Halo title for major competition.
Further details regarding the future of official HCS competition for a new Halo title are expected to be shared late next year, as the studio prioritizes its long-term development plans. The year 2026 will also mark Halo’s 25th anniversary, with celebrations planned for the community.
