Halo Infinite’s Release Date Shifts to 2021 Placeholder to Ensure the Game Meets the Team’s Vision

This comes as shocking news, as Halo Infinite had a solid look at the recent Microsoft’s Xbox Game Showcase event, where the game looked a bit rough around the edges. Developers 343 Industries has revealed that the reason for the delay is due to the ongoing battle COVID-19, which had a big impact on the development team. In addition, the delay to the 2021 slot had a lot to do with ensuring the team with enough time to match the game’s original vision.

When Halo Infinite releases in 2021, the game will still launch with a free to play multiplayer portion. In addition, the game will also support 120 FPS on the Xbox Series X. While this news is hard to swallow, there is still a ton to be excited for when it makes it release in 2021. Like Shigeru Miyamoto once said, ” A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever.”

At the time of writing, Halo Infinite will now release 2021 instead of its scheduled holiday 2020 release date.
