If you are a Halo Infinite fan, rejoice because you’re in for a treat! 343 industries just confirmed that HCS is going to bring back the HCS esports circuit in 2025 after certain concerns in the community around 2024 being the last year for the scene.
HCS esports to return in 2025
Just recently, after the Halo World Championship in 2024, the team finally confirmed that the HCS circuit would return for the fourth consecutive year in 2025. This means it would have the usual HCS format with multiple majors throughout the year, finally concluding into the Halo World Champion 2025. It was also confirmed that the $1,000,000 prize pool would again be present this year making it as or if not more competitive than the last year.
There always was a concern in the community about how the HCS circuit would not be pursued by 343 industries this year because of the delayed announcements. Although the developers continue to update the game regularly with new content (with also a new third-person mode in the pipeline) its popularity amongst a general audience other than the hardcore fans – is quite debatable.
HCS 2025 Changes
For the time being, we’re still not aware of the HCS 2025 will bring any changes at all to the format of the tournaments. The meta changes could be potentially interesting, like something to do with the map rotations for the games. Fingers crossed for Battle Royale modes in HCS, but we Halo 2 and 3 fanboys can only hope that it could happen someday.
Nevertheless, for all such updates around Halo and the HCS 2025 stay tuned to Talkesport.
