Despite Halo Infinite not even being fully released, the developers at 343 Industries along with Microsoft and other partners, have announced the Halo Championship Series. The Esports season starts with a major scheduled for December 17-18 in Raleigh, NC, but the entire season is packed full of tournaments with open entry chances on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC. The Load Screen covers how the return of Halo to Esports brings new competition from an old competitor.
Halo has had championships in past years, but now 343 Industries has released enough of Halo Infinite to light up the Esports world. They have already hosted two North American Open Series events, with more on the way in January leading up to the start of the Pro Series later that month. The NA Kickoff Qualifier begins December 1 through 2, so there is still time to join and test gamer talents on the way to Raleigh. The official Halo Championship Series 2021-2022 Season Reveal contains the entire schedule list of events that includes eight in-person events.
By putting out the multiplayer as a free-to-play on both Xbox and PC, gamers have picked up the new Halo and jumped into the intense FPS action. The competitive side of the game has also seen strong representation so far, and the latest season will exclusively play Halo: Infinite through 2022. Since the game is performing exceptionally well in its opening weeks, it will translate to good participation across every event this year as the season prizes are over $3,000,000 plus additional crowd funding.
Other major FPS titles have rolled out with a tremendous amount of hick-ups that 343 Industries partially avoided by dividing the release of all sections of their game. Having smooth gameplay and an entire season of tournaments will help Halo Infinite reach a greater audience than past games in the franchise. Either way, look for The Load Screen team to try their hand at event entry while waiting for the release of the latest campaign.
