Right now, it’s not clear exactly what the mode entails, if this will be available as a toggle, or even if it’ll be available in the campaign mode or if it’s being constrained to multiplayer. All of the footage shown in the work-in-progress video is from the multiplayer, but time will tell.

There’s no exact release date for when the third-person mode is coming to Halo Infinite, but 343 Industries notes that it can be expected at some point in November 2024.
Earlier in the year, Xbox head of consumer products John Friend noted in an interview that the team has plans for celebrating some big anniversaries of Xbox-owned franchises,including the 25th anniversary of Halo. Nov. 9, 2024 also marks the upcoming 20th anniversary of Halo 2, an original Xbox title that helped catapult the franchise into becoming a household name.
Personally, I’m looking forward to testing this third-person mode out. Options are cool, even though it’ll never be the primary way that I play Halo. The mainline franchise is a first-person shooter, but if the developers can have a pleasant third-person option as well, I won’t object, especially considering the games already shift to a third-person perspective when in vehicles or using turrets.
