Halo Infinite: Bruce Thomas returns as Master Chief’s motion capture actor

Actor Bruce Thomas has confirmed on Twitter that he is returning as Master Chief’s motion capture actor in Halo Infinite. Previously, Thomas has performed as Chief in both Halo 4 and Halo 5: Guardians, so it’s not surprising to see him embody the role of Spartan 117 once more.

Thomas’ performances have been a huge hit within the Halo community overall, with his performance in Halo 4 in particular standing out due to how exemplary it was. Thomas has brought a ton of nuance and personality to Master Chief over the years with his motion capture acting, and I imagine that most Halo fans will be ecstatic to hear that he’s returning.

This announcement came a day after official gameplay of Halo Infinite was shown off, giving fans a closer look at some of the awesome environments players would get to explore as well as some of Master Chief’s new combat abilities.

Halo Infinite is expected to launch on Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and Windows 10 PCs during Holiday 2020.
