'Halo Infinite' delayed to 2021, development impacted by COVID-19

Microsoft has delayed Halo Infinite into 2021, but notes that it won't impact the launch of the Xbox Series X.

Breaking. They say it's due to Covid, but we know it's due to Craig's vid.

Who didn't see that coming?

 

[dorkimoe]

What on earth are they going to launch with? That’s absolutely a devastating blow

Series X is honestly DOA without Halo Infinite. 343 is an absolute shitshow!

 

[jshackles]

mic drop moment

 

[Rossco EZ]

not really surprised to be honest..

i think deep down most of us saw it coming.

/shockedface

 

[Pejo]

It's the right move. Hopefully there's a night/day difference when they re-reveal it.

 

[SlimySnake]

lol posting in this thread because i like the title. lmao.

and this is good news. now cancel the current gen versions.

 

[Guileless]

I straight up hate the coronavirus.

 

[JLMC469]

Not surprised at all.

 

[Shambala]

Called it. Game looked like crap.

 

[Dibils2k]

next up, drop xbox one version

i expect ray tracing day 1 now

 

[hoogs]

Why not just delay the Series X? Who's going to buy it right now?

 

[kretos]

 

[icerock]

Inevitable really, even MS couldn't afford to push Halo in that state at launch.

Great counter-PR though, with that Series X launch in November. Too bad, there won't be anything to play at launch!

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

Thank God they weren't gonna release halo in that state.

 

[JLMC469]

lol posting in this thread because i like the title. lmao.

and this is good news. now cancel the current gen versions.

God yes. Cancel de Xbox One version.

 

[VAVA Mk2]

This needed to happen.

 

[MCplayer]

good, I feel better now...

 

[Mr Moose]

 

[GaviotaGrande]

I'll drink to that. Good decision and the only logical one.

 

[Hudo]

Xbros...we...lost.

 

[Moochi]

I straight up hate the coronavirus.

It's just the go to convenient excuse no one can argue with right now. In other days they'd just outright say it was delayed to make the best game possible, but now they have a free excuse.

 

[dotnotbot]

New Xbox without new Halo or Forza or anything big? Doesn't sound good.

 

[SaucyJack]

 

[Zoro7]

So there’s literally no reason to buy a series X at launch.
This was the right choice though.

 

[Wunray]

Tbh it was for the best. But now what does that mean for xbx launch?

 

[CrysisFreak]

But the game is so important for their next-gen launch? Wtf that's crazy.
inb4 there's nothing 2b upset

 

[ricardo_sousa11]

Delaying it makes no sense, its not like the game looks great and you need to fine tune...the whole engine looks like crap, and i highly doubt it will look much different in a year.

 

[RetroRibosome]

Shame.

It was looking like it was coming along so well too.

 

[AceofJakes]

God damn. What the hell is series X launching with then?

 

[J-Roderton]

Good call, I guess.

 

[Garjon]

Wow, I genuinely didn't think they would ever do it, that's a big decision from Microsoft. It must've been in a worse condition than we thought; those rumours of serious dev problems look pretty on the money now, if they didn't already with the unveil last month.

 

[R3claimer117]

lol posting in this thread because i like the title. lmao.

and this is good news. now cancel the current gen versions.

I’m guessing this will be the route they go in.

 

[HawarMiran]

The new Crackdown 3?

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

I'm honestly kind of shocked. It was the right move from a "game not being a complete dumpster fire" perspective, but this was pretty critical to their launch.

 

[//DEVIL//]

Great. The Xbox series X is just like the Xbox one X . Powerful console release window with no games to support it. I am 100% this console will not be sold out day one or ever . Watch scalpers buying in bulk to make a sale then get screwed .
Unless the Xbox series x is 400$, they are in big trouble .

 

[16bitwarzvet]

guess i'll just hold onto my one x and pick up a ps5 for Spiderman and the PS4 catalog.

 

[Thicc Enigma]

Good. That shit looked like ass.

Give it time to took and release when it's ready.

 

[icerock]

Big tentpole launch title with Series X is going to be... The Medium?

Good job Phil, good job.

Edit: messages tell me Tetris is launch title too, thank God!

 

[PSNplanetcolony]

Good job Microsoft, its ultimately the right move. Yes, its going to hurt their launch with no killer app, but if they want gamers to continue to love halo, it had to be delayed.

 

[mejin]

Hahahahaha all the defense force for nothing.

 

[The Cartographer]

''Difficult decision''.
Monke wrecked the whole game and studio.

343 diversity hires.jpg

/S

But good that they acknowledged the shitshow, hired multiple developers and hopefully we will get a game that looks like current gen/next gen. XSX launch is dead though unless Microsoft has secured a massive 3rd party exclusive or day 1 xgp launch of a massive 3rd party game (cyberpunk 2077?)

 

[BlueXImpulse]

When I said I was concerned for XsX I was accused of concern trolling.
