While developer 343 Industries has been rather quiet when it comes to new info regarding Halo Infinite, it seems we now have new info about the game, and it’s thanks to official Halo Infinite toys!
Spotted by ResetEra user “Gundam,” is a now-deleted tweet that showcases two unreleased Halo Infinite toys from MEGA Contstrux that possibly spoils the return of two enemy types that haven’t been seen in the franchise for quite some time. Check out the images below of a Brute and Spartan Gungnir.
The two enemies are also wielding what seems to be a new type of weapon as well.
Note that this is based off of a toy and not an official announcement, so there is a chance that these two could have been manufactured just for merchandising purposes, though I highly doubt that.
In other Halo news, 343 Industries has talked about developing and supporting Halo amid the COVID-19 pandemic, which you can read about here.
Halo Infinite is set for release sometime this 2020 for the Xbox One, Xbox Series X and PC.

The weapon in the brute’s hands looks to be a redesigned Brute Shot, judging from the blade running along the length of the weapon’s bottom.
As for the other one, it’s possible it could be a redesigned Mauler, since they both have a cylindrical magazine, but there’s not really much else they share aesthetically.
The May reveal seems likely. Lots of leaks and the Halo machine is starting to gather steam.
If anyone has played Halo Wars 2 which takes place after Halo 5, the return of the Brutes has been known.
