Originally intended as the Xbox Series X’s flagship launch title, Halo Infinite will now see its release much later than intended. Still, there’s now finally an indication as to when we can expect what many consider one of the most-anticipated games of this next generation in gaming. Halo Infinite will now see its release sometime during the Fall 2021 season.
In a statement (via Halowaypoint.com), the creative director Joseph Staten opened up about the game and offered up fans the reasoning behind this long delay in the release:
“I joined 343i right as the team was wrestling with feedback from the July campaign demo. This discussion boiled down to one fundamental truth: we needed more time to do things right. That included pushing hard in the Fall, giving the team time to recharge over the Holidays, and then coming back in January to finish the game at a healthy pace.”
Staten concludes with “Because Halo Infinite in the Fall of 2021… is just the beginning of the adventure.”
When all hope is lost, and humanity’s fate hangs in the balance, the Master Chief is ready to confront the most ruthless foe he’s ever faced. Begin anew and step inside the armor of humanity’s greatest hero to experience an epic adventure and finally explore the scale of the Halo ring itself.
