10 Hidden Video Game Endings You Weren't Supposed To See

10. Master Chief Finds Some Allies - Halo Infinite

Several weeks after Halo Infinite was released late last year, dataminers discovered the existence of a tantalising mid-credits scene which had evidently been scrapped by developers 343 Industries.

The scene depicts the Master Chief and the Pilot (aka Fernando Esparza) riding the Pelican as they intercept a message from a friendly ship.

The ship has a UNSC tag with the designation "friend," which is important given that the UNSC incurred catastrophic losses from the Banished at the start of the game.

This seems to suggest that Chief and Esparza will team up with the remnants of the UNSC to take on the Endless in the next Halo game - or it would, were this scene not ripped out of Infinite and included only in piecemeal, unpolished form.

Ultimately removing the scene does nothing to prevent any of the storytelling possibilities implied by it, but perhaps suggests that 343 wasn't 100% committed to this narrative direction yet, and wanted to give themselves an out in case they changed course.

Given that Halo 6 is likely many years away yet, it was probably a smart call to remove the scene if they weren't totally confident in the plot point.
