Four years after its release, Halo Infinite is, well, not going to be so infinite after all. Developer Halo Studios (formerly 343 Studios) has announced that it's done updating the game with new stuff as it focuses on other projects, like Halo: Campaign Evolved.

The final update will arrive on November 18 and will leave everyone with sped up XP, Spartan Points, and rank progression to play with while they wait for the next game. A new 100-tier premium battle pass will also offer new armor and weapon models to use, which you can view on the blog post.

Halo Infinite was never in the shooter spotlight for long and didn't really make much of a comeback in the last few years, but it seems like it had some fun with experimental modes, like one that let you play in third-person. It never took over my life like Halo 3, but it did convince me that battle passes are only cool if they never expire and that user-created modes are just as essential to the series as the energy sword.
