Halo Infinitehas now been made fully available to gamers after its campaign was released on December 8. While there existed plenty of concerns aroundHalo Infinitebefore its final launch, the game seems to have exceeded fans’ expectations. This has leftHalofans pleasantly surprised with what they’ve been offered, and many are excited to see what the future holds for the game. Fans are expecting a bunch of content to be added to the game over the coming months and years, including a handful of classic modes that weren’t available on launch. These absences have led to a number of rumors surrounding upcoming content, which fans have been lapping up.
Halo Infinite’sleaks since launchhave been varied, with them concerning a number of different aspects of the game. While many fans may have been hoping for leaks around game modes, these have been few and far between so far. However, one recent leak may prove exciting to fans ofHaloand of Pixar films, as it would see the two come together in one of the more unexpected crossovers. From this leak, it looks as thoughHalo Infinitemay soon welcome the likes of Buzz Lightyear to its ranks, although it is quite sparing in detail as of yet.

Halo Infinite’s Buzz Lightyear Crossover
All that has been released around this leak to this point is an image onthe officialHalosubreddit. Reddit user bissue_tox posted five images with a total of 23 Warthog skins, claiming that they had been found within the game files. However, one image in particular took the attention of fans. It included Warthogs of two different shades of green, one was red, and yet another had a light blue skin. However, the one that stood out to fans was on the near left-hand side, as the image displayed a Warthog seemingly sporting the colors of Buzz Lightyear’s suit fromToy Story. The vehicle sports a white base with purple and green trim and red elements throughout.
The skin looks a bit too intentional to simply be crossed off as a coincidence, which has left fans convinced that aHalo Infinitex Buzz Lightyear crossover is in the works. As of now, it appears as though this crossover will only have an impact onHalo Infinite’svehicles, though this may change over the coming months. As crossovers go, if it were to only feature a Warthog skin, it would not be one of the biggest crossover events in gaming. Some Reddit users have speculated that the skin could also apply to armor cores and weapons, although thus far this not been a part of the leak.
What is Lightyear?
The subject of this crossover is theupcoming Buzz Lightyear movie,Lightyear. The movie was announced in 2020 and is set to release this year on June 17, givingHalofans a potential release period for the crossover. This also offers some amount of legitimacy to the leak, as it makes sense that now would be the time for a crossover. Aside from the timing, though, fans may find the concept of Master Chief and Buzz Lightyear colliding to be strange. After all, the tone ofToy StoryandHalo Infiniteseem as though they should be at odds with one another.
Still, the upcomingLightyearmovie does seem as though it may be slightly more comparable toHalothan Buzz Lightyear’s portrayal in theToy Storymovies. Judging fromthe trailer forLightyear, it looks as though the movie will feature a more realistic depiction of Buzz Lightyear compared to his toy counterpart inToy Story. This is perhaps whyHalo Infiniteis seen as a good fit for a crossover withLightyearand may bring some level of plausibility to the leaks.
Halo Infiniteis available now for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
