A Reddit post by user HexLHF highlights the problem, with many in the comments in agreement that Halo Infinite campaign spoilers are becoming a real problem. It seems that some YouTube content creators were given early access to the Halo Infinite campaign and have been making videos with spoilers as a result. Sometimes these spoilers are confined to the videos themselves, but other times the spoilers are in the names of the videos. They may not blatantly spell out a plot point, but they may still be just enough for Halo fans to figure out what they mean and get the story spoiled for them.

HexLHF has said that the decision to give content creators early access to the Halo Infinite campaign is worse than the game’s controversial Battle Pass system. They recommend that anyone who is interested in the Halo Infinite campaign and don’t want to get it spoiled for themselves should do their best to avoid using YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok until the game drops on December 8.
Video game developers give content creators early access to their games all the time as a way to drum up more hype. However, there are usually rules in place to keep content creators from creating spoiler content. This way they can focus on making videos about things like Craig Easter eggs in the Halo Infinite campaign, but aren’t allowed to make videos that potentially spoil plot points in the game. It’s possible that 343 made these requests and were ignored, so disgruntled fans should keep that in mind.
At this point, Halo Infinite campaign spoilers are out in the wild and there’s really nothing that fans can do about it except try to avoid them. As HexLHF suggests, limiting one’s time on social media could go a long way in avoiding spoilers, though it may not be realistic for everyone to do that.
On the bright side, the wait for the Halo Infinite campaign is nearly over. Soon Halo Infinite players will be able to jump into the campaign for themselves and see everything that happens during Master Chief’s latest adventure.
Halo Infinite launches December 8 for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
