Halo Infinite will be a joint development from 343 Industries and SkyBox Labs, it was announced today. The Vancouver-based SkyBox Labs has a long history of working with 343, as it worked on Halo 5: Forge for Windows 10 and did the work on Halo 5‘s Xbox One X enhancements. It sounds like SkyBox’s efforts for Halo Infinite will be more substantial.

In a news release, SkyBox said it will work alongside 343 on “features across the game including AI, gameplay, networking, and cutting-edge graphics features.”

Halo FPS studio head Chris Lee said in a statement that SkyBox is doing “great work” already on Halo Infinite. SkyBox co-founder Steven Silvester said in a statement that the studio is energised by Halo Infinite’s new art style and the game’s new engine, SlipSpace.

SkyBox said in its statement that “most” of the team’s 100-plus developers are working on Halo Infinite. The studio has been growing of late, while the team continues to grow, as it’s currently hiring across a number of different disciplines.

Halo Infinite was announced at E3 2018 with a trailer for the game’s engine, SlipSpace, but we have yet to see any of the game itself. The game’s new art style is meant to hearken back to the original Halo game. Microsoft has said Halo Infinite returns to the franchise’s roots, and is “bigger and bolder” than any previous Halo title.

In other Halo news, a new arcade game called Halo: Fireteam Raven is out now–and it’s pretty great.

For Honor’s next season, Season VII: Storm and Fury, is launching August 2 on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One families.

Storm and Fury brings with it a brand new map, major Hero reworks, and an updated Ranking System. The new map, Secluded Keep, is described as a highly disputed outpost that was once the personal retreat of a pious Lord surrounded by water. The new map will be available in Tribute, Skirmish, Elimination, Brawl and Duel.

The Warden and Valkyrie will receive “major gameplay updates” to improve their versatility and efficiency, based on feedback from players.  Two new divisions in the Ranking System – Master and Grand Master – will also be introduced, and are described by Ubisoft as divisions “reserved for the fiercest warriors”. A new Ranking Leaderboard will allow players to monitor their progress, and players will also be able to join Ranked Duel matches outside Tournaments. Tournaments will now be triggered on rotation.

NHL 19 doesn’t officially launch until the middle of September, but you can play a part of it right now on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One thanks to an open beta that just began.

The free open beta lets you try out the game’s brand-new pond hockey mode, NHL Ones, as well as Threes drop-in, EASHL Drop-In, and Clubs modes. What’s more, the beta supports online versus play with all 31 NHL teams.

The beta also lets players check out “The World of Chel,” which is the next evolution of the EA Sports Hockey League mode. What’s new this time is that there is a “unified progression and customization system for created players.” In the beta, you can customise your skater with 15 unique traits and 21 different specialisations. Goalies can be customised with six traits and nine specialisations. What’s more, the beta lets you check out “hundreds” of customisation items such as hoodies and parkas to wear outside on the pond.

What’s more, the NHL 19 beta lets you check out the game’s “Real Player Motion” technology, which EA says will help offer the “most realistic skating experience in series history.”

The NHL 19 open beta runs through August 2, and it’s available on PS4 and Xbox One. You can send in feedback to EA Sports here in this forum. The file size is 20.77 GB on Xbox One.

NHL 19 launches on September 14, but the more expensive Ultimate and Legend editions launch on September 11. EA Access subscribers, meanwhile, can play a 10-hour trial for the full game starting on September 6.

P.K. Subban is on the cover of NHL 19, and he was also the inspiration for the game’s painful-looking hit physics.
