With the next edition of Halo slated to hit players next year, organizers of the Halo Championship Series unveiled its vision for the series and Halo esports overall as we approach the Halo Infinite era. With an eye to grow the player and team base for next year, both in the US and internationally, the company stated that it would be locking in and announcing a full 12-month esports roadmap so that, before competition starts, all cities, dates, venues, rules, handbooks, formats, and more for those first 12 months will be publicly available and promoted. In addition, HCS will look to “secure top teams with large fanbases, diversifying and investing in new content creators” moving forward.
 
“Overall, our goals are simple,” the company said in the announcement. “We want to grow viewership for Halo esports tournaments, as well as viewership for players, teams, and content creators. We want Halo esports to act as a platform that teams, players, TOs, sponsors, and more can invest in and see a return in. We want to have epic moments where the broader gaming community can’t help but take notice. Finally, alongside the players, fans, and partners – we want to create a movement. We want everyone to feel like they’re a part of the same community and something larger than themselves.”
