In 2021, Halo Infinite took players back to one of the titular ring worlds. Many had hoped that in taking the franchise back toward a look and feel that was lost somewhere between Bungie and 343 Industries, Master Chief might buddy up with another Arbiter-like companion, if not bring back the Arbiter himself. While Halo Infinite mostly left the player alone, save for their new artificial friend and the occasional inclusion of UNSC pilot Esparza, there is still a chance that future Halo games will offer Chief the opportunity to learn from the source of the alien culture he finds himself steeped in.
