Halo Infinite is one of Microsoft’s most important releases this year, and the game might be even bigger than fans expect. According to a menu spotted on the Halo website, there may be more than one story campaign available.
Judging by the screenshot posted by Xbox News on Twitter, Infinite has a “Campaigns” option in the game’s Waypoint hub, presumably allowing the players to choose from several stories and different characters. At this time, we do only know that Infinite will let you play as Master Chief in a massive ring-shaped artificial world environment.

Naturally, it’s possible that "campaign" being plural on the menu is simply a mistake, but it’s a pretty unlikely one considering 343 Industries hasn't issued a correction yet. Check out the screenshot for yourself:
Although multiple campaigns haven't been officially confirmed yet, 343 Industries has hinted at some story expansions following the initial campaign as part of the post-launch support. Perhaps the extra content will be added to Infinite sometime down the road via “campaign passes.” There's even some speculations that Infinite might take a Destiny-style approach, continuing the story long after launch. Whether we can count on “infinite campaigns” in the future remains to be seen.
Aside from its story mode, Infinite will also have a separate free-to-play multiplayer. It will feature an ongoing story with your created Spartan character at its centre.
Regardless of how many campaigns there are however, Halo fans should be cautious if they want to avoid spoilers. During Infinite’s first technical test, dataminers have leaked some inadvertently included information about the final game. 343 Industries has already asked that these spoilers not be shared online, saying “leaks like this are painful for the dev team and can ruin the campaign experience for everyone.”
Halo Infinite still doesn’t have an exact launch date. Recently a Krispy Kreme partner advert hinted the game is coming in November, which is barely a surprise considering how packed that month usually is for gaming. In addition, Phil Spencer previously said the launch window for the highly-anticipated title has been internally narrowed down to “a few weeks,” promising “better clarity” for Infinite’s release date over the Summer.
