Will Halo Infinite have any prequel novel or comic that should give some context about where the story is going? If yes then who should write it?
Unlikely, as 343 has said they want new fans and longtime fans to both be in the dark as to what has happened that led up to the beginning of the game. I’m sure we’ll uncover and learn what happened beforehand during the Campaign itself.
I kinda hope not. Act Man made a point a while back, which I agree with. Release the game to generate interest in the franchise and attract new players. Then release EU material surrounding the game so those who want to know more will have that opportunity.
Being forced to read outside material wasn’t ideal, but the good thing was I got to experience some great stories and eventually wanted to read more and more of the EU material. However, the problem was that 343i’s games themselves left me in the dark a lot. With this step, it sounds like Infinite will be a self-contained story. Much more satisfying to have EU material that enriches the game rather than be something the game relies on to tell a full story.

That’s definitely what I actually want
