Proceed with caution!Deleted #HaloInfinite mid-credits cutscene has been uncovered! 👀 What are your thoughts about this?(Via: Alpha Archive on Youtube https://t.co/ohVpnG8hCS) pic.twitter.com/RiszTdUi7J— Quest Status (@QuestStatus) December 30, 2021 Have you played Halo Infinite?YESNODuring the short clip, the cinematic shows pilot Fernando Esparza asleep at the helm of the Pelican before being swiftly awakened by an incoming signal. Upon hearing the call to action, a stunned-looking Esparza calls in Master Chief to share the discovery. “Chief,” says the pilot, “you’re not going to believe this.”Following the announcement the incoming signal sounds the words, “UNSC Tag detected. Designation, friend.” We’re never shown what it is they’re looking at.

Hopeful members of the community discussing theories in the video’s comments section raised a number of potential fan favorites that they’d like to see back in the fold. “I really want to see the arbiter back in action again,” said Marshmello Games in the YouTube comments section, while another theorized that the transmission could be originating from a pretty well-known Phoenix-class support vessel. “Imagine it was intended to be the Spirit of Fire,” said Nathan Austen. “I’ve been itching to see Red Team and Chief fight together.” Other guesses include Spartans like Jameson Locke, or even your own multiplayer character to be used in the delayed co-op campaign.While it isn’t clear yet as to whether 343 intends to follow up on the cut footage, the final release of Halo Infinite does come with its own certified canon post-credit scene that looks to show where the franchise might be heading in the future.
