Halo Infinite now scheduled for release in ‘Fall 2021’
We already knew that Halo Infinite was delayed until next year. Initially intended to launch alongside the new Xboxes, Microsoft announced back in August that it would instead ship in 2021.
Exactly when in 2021, though, was still anyone’s guess. A new blog post from 343 Industries narrows it down a bit: it’ll be released in Fall.
Assuming they mean Fall in the Northern Hemisphere (which, well, they probably do,) this narrows the launch window to sometime between the end of September and the end of December. So it’ll be a while… but a late game is better than a bad game, right?
343 has a blog post and interview outlining the team’s thinking on the timing (and a bit about what they’re still working on) but it really all boils down to one point: they “needed more time to do things right.”

Microsoft announces ‘Halo Infinite’
There were some rumblings that Microsoft might announce a new Halo title at this year’s E3 — and really, what would an Xbox event be without some nod to the perennial favorite sci-fi first-person shooter series?
The company didn’t mess around this time. Before Xbox head Phil Spencer even took the stage, the company offered up a brief teaser for the upcoming title. The trailer offered very little in the way of actual information about the game, showcasing a band of soldiers wandering through a field, followed by a quick reveal of Master Chief’s helmet.

Schiller took to the stage to confirm that the iconic character will return for the title, for his “greatest adventure to save humanity.” Halo Infinite is built on top of the Slipspace Engine and is being positioned as “the next chapter in the legendary franchise,” which could imply that it’s a direct sequel to 2015’s lukewarmly received Halo 5: Guardians.
We’ll update as we get more information.
