Players have discovered a possible reference to the Brute Craig in Halo: Campaign Evolved, who became a meme after the first demonstration of Halo Infinite in 2020. At that time, his low-detail face became a symbol of the early version of the game's problems and a favorite community joke.
In one of the new missions, Master Chief can find tanks with liquid inside, containing Brutes. One of them immediately attracted fans' attention: he is completely bald and resembles Craig.
If this is indeed an intentional Easter egg, the developers could have given a humorous explanation for the character's unusual appearance, hinting that it was the result of experiments or genetic modifications. However, there is no official confirmation that this is the very same Craig from Halo Infinite.
Currently, Halo: Campaign Evolved is available to Premium Edition owners in early access. The full release of the game will take place on July 28.
