Halo Infinite has been delayed until 2021

343 Industries has confirmed that Halo Infinite has been delayed until 2021, removing one of the Xbox Series X’s critical launch titles away from the new console’s launch day. 

In a public statement, 343 Industries Studio Head, Chris Lee, stated that the studio was facing “development challenges”, which have been attributed to CIVID-19 and ofter factors. “It is not sustainable for the well-being of our team or the overall success of the game to ship it this holiday,” Lee said. 

This delay will be a huge blow to Microsoft’s Xbox Series X console, but this delay should ultimately result in the launch of a better, more polished Halo title and healthier working conditions for the teams behind it. 

Microsoft’s Xbox Series X now has a confirmed November 2020 launch date, though the lack of Halo Infinite will leave the system without major launch title. That said, Xbox Series X will launch with over 40 existing games which will be “optimised for Xbox Series X” and more than 50 new games which will be releasing this year for the platform. At this time the system’s pricing and exact release date remain unknown.
