As the major launch title for Microsoft’s next-generation Xbox Series X,Halo Infinitehype is real. Fans are clamoring for new information about the game, and 343 Industries community manager John Junyszek had to remind them to only trust official channels after a recent ‘massive’Halo Infiniteleak was revealed to be fake. One British graphic designer who goes by XboxPope on Twitter decided to channel their excitement for the upcoming game by creating a mock-up of what a special-editionHalo InfiniteXbox Series X could look like.
The fan-made console and controller design is green and black in the same kinds of worn-metal textures that make upHaloprotagonist Master Chief’s Spartan power armor. It is also adored with Chief’s designation number “117” and has bits of gold flourish that come out especially well underneath the two analog sticks of theXbox Series X controller.

When asked by a commenter on the Twitter post whether they could create a similar concept using “translucent green” like the originalHalo-edition Xbox, XboxPope responded with a very fitting gif of a priestly figure growing disgusted and shaking his head ‘no.’ For those who like the work XboxPope creates and want to see more, the artist recently put out a mock-up of a special-editionAssassin’s Creed ValhallaXbox Series Xtoo.
The graphic designer has a rather large body of work customizing different consoles and controllers prior to theseAssassin’s Creed ValhallaandHalo Infinitepieces. Though they tell another fan in the comments that they have not been hired by Microsoft because “they have better people then [sic] me already,” XboxPope has previously designed special controllers in collaboration with the Xbox Live team.
WhileHalo Infiniteis easily one of the most anticipated next-gen games that the world currently knows about, there is plenty of work being done by various studios to start lining up games for the Xbox Series X and Sony’s PlayStation 5. After Epic Games unveiled its Unreal Engine 5, compatible with both those consoles and the Nintendo Switch, Xbox Game Studio inXile Entertainment revealed it isworking on an Xbox Series X game using Unreal.
