Halo Infinite Release Date Hinted at by Xbox Insider

3.8
Halo Infinite's release date has seemingly been hinted at by a prominent Xbox insider. At one point, Halo Infinite was poised to be an Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S launch game, or, in other words, releasing in just a couple of weeks. However, the Xbox One, PC, and next-gen Xbox game now is not only going to miss this original release date, but it currently doesn't have a release window. Couple this with reports of the game's troubled development, and the result is speculation that it may not even hit in 2021. However, according to the aforementioned Xbox insider, this is almost certainly not going to be a problem.

Over on Twitter, Xbox insider Klobrille recently revealed that Halo Infinite is "more or less content complete." As a result, 343 Industries is "fully focused on the technical aspects" of the game. Meanwhile, the insider notes that they "absolutely expect" the game to release sometime in 2021.

Unfortunately, this is where the details end, but it sounds like rumors and speculation that the game could be pushed to 2022 are unfounded. Meanwhile, if the game is content complete, that would suggest it's going to hit in the first or second quarter of the year rather than the third or fourth quarter.

Klobrille's comments also suggest that the game was delayed solely because of technical issues, which isn't very surprising considering it was clearly lacking in this department when it was showed off this summer.


Of course, take everything here with a grain of salt. Not only is nothing here official, but everything is subject to change during the course of development, especially when it comes to a game like Halo Infinite, which has had a very long and rocky development.

Halo Infinite is in development for Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC.

Yin I wish it was a little clearer on maybe early or late next year, but I am looking forward to it regardless, assuming the Series X ever comes back in stock long enough for me to get one, lol.


With no date being announced, no real news given, and the only glimmer of hope being a console launch event that MIGHT give us news(that they've already denied will happen, but hey they might be saving face) it's safe to say you'll get your hands on a console before it comes out.

Maze "Sometime in 2021" is not a date lmao


I'm pretty sure people already knew it would be 2021 as well...


It's been known for some time now lmao

Kicka Sure lol. The game is nowhere near complete if it had to be pushed with an unexpected release date


No you can tell by their reveal it was practically done in terms of being built and playable. The delay, although it can be blamed for various reasons, was due to the community outcry over it not looking graphically brilliant like we expect.
