The Xbox Series X will be released this year without its most anticipated game Halo Infinite.
Announced today, the game has been delayed to 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic. 343 Industries studio head Chris Lee said in a statement:
“We have made the difficult decision to shift our release to 2021 to ensure the team has adequate time to deliver a Halo game experience that meets our vision. The decision to shift our release is the result of multiple factors that have contributed to development challenges, including the ongoing COVID-related impacts affecting us all this year. I want to acknowledge the hard work from our team at 343 Industries, who have remained committed to making a great game and finding solutions to development challenges. However, it is not sustainable for the well-being of our team or the overall success of the game to ship it this holiday.”
Halo Infinite is the follow up to 2015’s Halo 5: Guardians. Microsoft announced the game at E3 2018.
