Xbox Game Studios and 343 Industries finally lifted the curtain on Halo Infinite, the next chapter in the beloved first-person shooter series, during a digital games showcase in July.

New DVD releaseinfinite, release, shifts, thriller, wahlberg

Infinite, a sci-fi film from director Antoine Fuqua, made a major change with Mark Wahlberg as its new headliner, replacing Chris Evans.
