This has been announced by those responsible through an official statement, ensuring that they prefer to give themselves more time to offer fans the Halo experience that they intend to offer with the title, to which are added other challenges still in force such as the global crisis of the coronavirus, that has changed many plans of the company at the development level.

“The decision to change our launch is the result of multiple factors that have contributed to development challenges, including the COVID-related impact affecting us throughout the year. I want to acknowledge the hard work of our team at 343 Industries, who have remained committed to creating a great game and finding solutions to development challenges. However, it is not sustainable for the well-being of our team or the general success of the game to arrive this Christmas ”, continues the head of the study.
Chris Lee ends the statement by thanking the community for the support throughout these years of development and how it has served as an inspiration to the creative team, ensuring that all they wanted was to let the fans play their game this Christmas. “The extra time will allow us to finish the critical work necessary to deliver the most ambitious Halo game ever created at the level of quality our fans have come to expect,” concludes Lee.
Halo Infinite was supposed to hit the market in time for this upcoming Christmas; now, it is expected to arrive sometime in 2021 at a date yet to be specified.
