Halo Infinitewill finally be revealed in full on July 23 (here’show to watch the Xbox Series X games showcase, if you want to tune in), but in the meantimeMicrosofthas revealed the official box art of the flagshipXbox Series Xgame to keep players guessing.

Other games expected at the Xbox Series X showcase include a new Forza Motorsport title,Hellblade 2and Rare’s Everwild, with many more surprises expected.
