We know Master Chief is returning in Halo Infinite, as well as Cortana, the artificial intelligence that helps the Petty Officer on missions.
Halo Infinite will take place in 2560, so players are wondering just how old Master Chief is now, and whether that will have any effect on the character’s future in the franchise, as rumor has been going around that it could be his last adventure.
How old is Master Chief in Halo Infinite?
The community has worked out that Master Chief is biologically 49 years old in 2560, as he was born in 2511. As many fans will know, John was genetically mutated to become a super-soldier by Dr. Halsey. Players know this gives the character inhumane reflexes and capabilities, but they’re also wondering if this affects his age.
Further, Master Chief can also be found in cryosleep when he isn’t out on a mission, potentially further slowing down the aging process. So, although he is 49 years old, he could be much younger, perhaps by around ten years.
So there you have it, biologically Master Chief is 49 years old, but his genetic mutations and time in cryosleep may have halted the process and have made him younger when it comes to his physical condition.
