Halo: Infinite Tantaka (Battle Royale) has been reportedly cancelled. Made into its own game.

Halo Infinite is having a little renaissance over the last few months, and especially now, so it can survive without this, but WOW. They spent so much time and money with Certain Affinity on presumably this.

Crazy.

OP knows what he was doing with that title.

So an unannounced, leaked Battle Royale seems to be a separate title and not an added MP mode in Infinite…and you lead with “it’s canceled”?

Back on topic, seems to be a smart business decision to push it into another title which would receive fresh marketing. Looks like the first year of poor content delivery for Infinite has tainted the title in the eyes of many.

Its just moved over to UE5. its not dead, as far as we know. Title is misleading. Even the OP states as much. Its just dead within the Infinite API. This has been known for ages, not exactly news.
Halo Insider says that the game mode is dead:

But it will become it's own thing.

I'd expect it to launch with the rumored single player experience that's also in UE5. Would make sense.

That’s fine. There’s already a Battle Royal via Forge in season 5, plus Firefight. Infinite actually and finally feels content rich now. I’ve been having a blast over the past few days; the only thing I personally need now is campaign DLC.

Coming late to the party as always. Battlefield tried Battle Royale and failed spectacularly and it's far bigger than Halo. I don't think it's gonna be a hit.
I think these two bits of news are related


If I were a betting man I'd say they've abandoned Halo Infinite now in terms of long term support and they moved tatanka on to the next iteration. Meaning it will be even later to the BR craze but they will attach it to the next Halo release and moved everything to UE.

With the move to UE5, it kind of makes sense that it’s not part of Halo Infinite.

Still hoping it comes out soon and not part of the next Halo game

Good.
If its a separate launcher they can support it outside of Halo Infinite.

343i should be working on Warzone Firefight, thats the game mode we are waiting for.

I think it’s wise that they make it its own game. It will be like Warzone or Apex Legends and have its own identity separate from everything else in the franchise.

If it was just a part of Infinite then the market might misunderstand what it is or not even be aware of it and people won’t play it. And if it’s separate from Infinite then it’s not tied to the fate of that game. If Infinite stops receiving support in the future then this game can continue to exist in a healthy way independent of that game.

Yup.
Alot of people dont even know that Apex Legends is in the TitanFall universe.
TitanFall and 2 flopped because gamers are stupid, but atleast the team still got to use assets and expertise on Apex Legends, and hopefully Apex Legends gets more people to atleast try TitanFall 2 (TitanFall 1 the better MP games is dead unfortunately).

Tatanka can be its own entity and try squeeze more blood from the stone that is BR/Extraction games while Halo can go on to do whatever.

Honestly didnt understand how a battle royal would even work in halo, only way it could of been sone is if you played as a marine inatead of a spartan, halo infinte is near impossible to kill 3 people who are attacking you at once, how would it even been done on a br

Unlike all the other BR games where in a 3v1 fight nobody can guess how it might go?

Next from Ozriel, setting is the A&E after Phil Spencer just showed up with a 2x4 and started going for repeated head shots: “whoa, I never realised how well served A&E is, with my phone I can play on Xcloud and always be connected and I may have never experienced it if it were not for all of this, thanks Phil!”.

Change of plans happen. It’s not like anyone paid a cent for the F2P multiplayer anyway.

My point stands. The rumored ‘tatanka’ mode wasn’t announced.

eh, I’ve seen better scripts on Pornhub.

I dont think you know what is the point.

You are taking this rumor as true, when you say this:

seems to be a smart business decision to push it into another title which would receive fresh marketing

Then you admit Halo l poor content support:

Looks like the first year of poor content delivery for Infinite has tainted the title in the eyes of many.

I reply to you with:
so, another lie from MS's marketing? Which by your own words the answer is yes.

So, the point is not if it was announced or not, is that YOU are taking this rumor as true 😂🤣🤡🤡.

I have absolutely no idea what you’re on about. I should have thought what I posted was clear as day.

But sorry that happened, or I’m happy for you.

Surely having shields, thrusters/grappling hook makes it easier to escape and regroup? Also I think it would work better as a team based mode.
 
…but there’s absolutely nothing to spin? A rumored change for a rumored mode requires ‘spin’?
how can someone lack this much of self-awareness? 😂🤣

Ozriel:
The rumored ‘tatanka’ mode wasn’t announced

Implication:
If it wasn't announced, then it cannot be canceled; therefore, you can't have a negative opinion.

ozriel at the same time:
seems to be a smart business decision to push it into another title which would receive fresh marketing
Implication:
You Damage Control this rumor saying it wasn't announced (therefore doesn't exist) yet simultaneously, you embrace the rumor and put a positive spin on it. 😂🤣😂🤣


this is not concern trolling. I am just pointing out the buffoonery
 
The way I read this is that the game is probably shaping up to be good and they are confident enough to make it be its own thing.
 
Probably makes sense. BR is losing steam at this point. Too late to the market. They should just remove some limits in Forge and somebody will create BR anyway.

Well I mean anthem had a 10 year plan too I think, and we saw how that worked out. To be fair though I think MS has done a much better job improving Halo than EA did with Anthem

Lmao, now this is just ignorance talking.

The ‘tatanka BR mode’ has not been officially announced by Microsoft as an add on for Halo Infinite, so it can’t be called out as a broken promise.

At the same time, we know something major planned for Halo Infinite exists because Certain Affinity has told journalists they’re working on something ‘big and unannounced’ for Halo Infinite. It’s never been clarified as a BR mode, that much is still a rumor.


With Halo Infinite being relatively content rich at the moment, but being tainted by the poor first year of content, it makes sense to redirect Certain Affinity’s unannounced work to a new numbered Halo title, if this tweet is to be believed.

none of this is rocket science. I refuse to believe comprehension of something so basic continues to elude you.

again... It seems you dont realize im not talking about the game at all. I am taking about you 🤣😂
 
There was no way a Halo battle royal could ever compete without vastly altering the gameplay. It would just be a poor man's Apex Legend with no variety of gameplay if they didn't
