Is Arbiter In Halo Infinite? Here’s What His Voice Actor Said When Asked

2021 is a big year for Halo and Xbox, as Microsoft will finally release Halo Infinite after years of development and a late delay last year. We still don’t know much about the game’s story, apart from the fact that it is a direct sequel to Halo 5 and takes place on Zeta Halo. Plenty of questions remain unanswered, one of which is whether the Arbiter will make an appearance.

The Arbiter, an alien who befriends Master Chief and appears in Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo 5, is voiced by actor Keith David. He recently had some time on his hands and asked people to submit questions to him on Twitter. One person asked if David had a role in Halo Infinite, and the actor gave an intriguing response.

Asked if he could say if he’s going to be in Halo Infinite, David said, “I’d have to kill you.”

Doctor Who Star Jodie Whittaker To Leave After Next Season – Report

The annual holiday special of the BBC’s long-running sci-fi show Doctor Who screened last week, and Season 13 of the show is due later in 2021. However, it has been reported that this might be the final season for current star Jodie Whittaker.

The news comes via the UK newspaper the Mirror, which states that Whittaker intends to leave the role as the iconic Timelord after Season 13. It quotes a source from the production, who says, “It’s all very hush-hush but it is known on set that Jodie is leaving and they are gearing up for a regeneration. Her departure is top secret but at some point over the coming months the arrival of the 14th Doctor will need to be filmed.”

In response to these rumors, the BBC simply stated, “We won’t be commenting on any speculation around Jodie’s future on the show.”

The Mandalorian Is 2020’s Most Pirated Show

In 2020, Disney+ smash hit show The Mandalorian snatched the dubious honor of “most pirated TV show” away from Game of Thrones based on BitTorrent traffic alone. According to TorrentFreak, a publication dedicated to file sharing news, although BitTorrent activity “only makes up a small portion of the piracy landscape,” the Star Wars spin-off series has handily topped the list of most downloaded TV shows last year–however, no numbers were released.

It isn’t exactly a shock that Game of Thrones doesn’t appear even among the top 10 illegally downloaded shows last year–just like the series, its reign in this category came to an end. (It was at the very top back in 2019.) However, TorrentFreak does note that The Mandalorian was in close contention last year, barely beating out Prime Video’s The Boys (which placed second on the list) and HBO’s Westworld (which placed third). The full reported list is below.

  1. The Mandalorian” (Disney+)
  2. The Boys (Amazon Prime Video)
  3. Westworld (HBO)
  4. Vikings (History Channel)
  5. Star Trek: Picard (CBS All Access)
  6. Rick and Morty (Adult Swim)
  7. The Walking Dead (AMC)
  8. The Outsider (HBO)
  9. Arrow (The CW)
  10. The Flash (The CW)

While Disney+ is probably hardly thrilled about this distinction, as the lack of numbers here indicate–it and other streaming services on the list should take solace in the fact that many popular streaming sites and services (including the illegal ones) generally do not report its viewing statistics and figures.
