LOS ANGELES—At a pre-E3 press briefing today, Microsoft teased Halo Infinite, the next chapter in its long-running first-person shooter series.

A roughly two-minute "game engine demonstration" featured scenes of exotic alien animals over lush rain-soaked caves, forests, and savannah. As four tired-looking marines limp along a beach featuring broken Halo gates, the brief tease concludes with a shot of Master Chief holding his iconic helmet at his waist before driving off into the sunset on a Warthog.

No release date or gameplay footage was revealed, and no additional details were given, save that the game will be using the newly announced Slipspace Engine.

"With Halo infinite, we will join Master Chief on his greatest adventure yet to save humanity," Microsoft head of Xbox Phil Spencer said by way of cryptic, elliptical praise on stage at the briefing.

We'll keep you updated on any new information on Halo Infinite as it comes during this week's Electronic Entertainment Expo.
