Halo Infinite: 10 Facts About The Banished That Fans Need To Know

Between new gaming IPs, long-awaited sequels, and the return of some of the biggest names in video games, 2020 is shaping up extremely well - and there are still so many unannounced titles expected to launch alongside the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X this holiday. Without further ado, here are Screen Rant's picks for the most anticipated games of 2


After eight years on the scene, EA officially turned The Sims 4 free-to-play in 2022. The base game is currently available on all platforms at no cost, although players interested in the DLC packs will need to buy those separately. The Sims has been around for decades, and the fourth entry is one of the more polarizing entries in the franch


There was a time when your basic movement was enough to be strategically sound. Now, you’ve got a movement system that's practically akin to Apex Legends . When the new abilities are combined with poor map construction, a shootout doesn’t reward accuracy quite the way it used to. Sometimes, simply making something more elaborate doesn’t make it bet


Perhaps the most impressive aspect of the new Animal Crossing is that Nintendo has listened to fans when it comes to multiplayer functionality , with four player local co-op and eight player online multiplayer. Nintendo delayed the game to 2020 to ensure a good work-life balance for its developers, but this will no doubt lead to a better end product, and add a bit of relaxation for Switch players around the wo


Marvel's Avengers was an exciting prospect for many years, although E3 2019's cinematic trailer received a bit of backlash from fans due to the character designs of the different Marvel heroes. The joint development team at Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal has apparently tweaked some aspects based on this feedback, but the proof will undoubtedly be in how the game plays once it's released on May


As the name suggests, both games predominantly take place in Moscow's underground Metro, though players must occasionally risk the conditions on the surface. Metro Redux 's post-apocalyptic setting is what makes it stand out, as the development team, 4A Games, did a fantastic job of creating bleak, eerie environments that will stick in players' heads long after they're finished play


The Halo franchise seems to have gone out of its way in an effort to abandon itself, but those unique touches on everything from vehicles to enemies should always feel like the title you were promised. Instead of trying to fix what isn’t broken, keep what works and Fracture Tenrai Rewards build on it. That was something Bungie got ri


While the intent of the vehicle is promising the Elephant itself is underwhelming. Meant to serve as a mobile command center in battle it’s incredibly slow and underpowered. Battles are often over before it changes positions and there aren’t many defensive capabilities if it comes under att


Given the new engine that 343 Industries will be running for Halo: Infinite , they should still summon the courage to restore the familiar art design of the series. This isn’t the rambling of a fanboy. Clothes can say a lot about a person and can project your personality. It’s the first impression of you that people


We’d rather wait. Seriously—we would rather wait on the game’s launch if we can only have enough content to play when we first purchase the game. With every release demanding jacked up prices for different "editions", we really just want a full g


Although it's seen its fair share of controversy over the years, Bungie's Destiny 2 is still running strong today, with a recent expansion and multiple updates to add even more content to its steadily growing world. Players who are just now jumping in for the first time can boost themselves to a higher Light Level by proving they can tackle a Legendary story mission, giving them faster access to some of the end-game content packed within Witch Qu


The recent gameplay trailer for Halo Infinite features the Banished talking about Atriox, the rebellious Jiralhanae warrior who inspired the movement which eventually led to their rise as a separate fact


We'll all be carefully scrutinizing 343 Industries' next installment in Microsoft’s flagship Xbox franchise, Halo: Infinite . At least, Halo used to feel that significant. The franchise doesn’t quite seem to carry the same clout that it used to. After E3 and many undelivered promises, the developers are in damage control mode, though that's most directly due to a poor campaign in Halo 5 , the strange Squad system, microtransactions, and other controversial additi


The latest trailer for Halo Infinite suggests that the Banished have allied themselves with the goals of the Harbinger (possibly a reference to Cortana ), which would represent a major threat to humanity in the wake of the Human-Covenant war, and the foiling of the Ur-Didact's plans. How it plays out has yet to be revealed, but with a Halo ring already under their control, the Banished certainly aren't playing ga
