Halo Infinite is probably one of the most eagerly anticipated Xbox Series X games of 2021, promising to completely reimagine Microsoft’s renowned Halo brand.
The new Halo was meant to be a launch title for the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles, but it was postponed owing to the Covid-19 outbreak and negative fan reaction to the gameplay presentation.
We finally have a release date for Halo Infinite: December 8, 2021, after a placeholder date of “Holiday 2021,” which falls between November and early January. During Gamescom 2021, 343 Industries announced the news, as well as the availability of a custom Xbox Series X and Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 at launch.
Halo Infinite, described by developer 343 Industries as a “spiritual reboot,” will continue the series’ ongoing tale on Xbox One, PC (including Steam), Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S. The game will also be available on Xbox Game Pass from the start and will have ray-tracing in a post-launch patch. Xbox Series X owners will also get an improved version of the game, with “up to 4k resolution at 60fps in the campaign and drastically decreased load times delivering seamless gameplay that ushers in the next age of gaming,” according to Microsoft.
