Fall 2021, coinciding with the 20th anniversary of Halo: Combat Evolved
Joseph Staten, a member of the series since the days of Halo: Combat Evolved at Bungie and who returned to Xbox Game Studios last August to help 343 Industries finish development, has been responsible for breaking the news on the official Halo Waypoint blog: “ After Reach was released, I became a fan of Halo, cheering on 343i from the sidelines, ”he begins by saying, since that was when he first disassociated himself from the series. “But I’ve spent the past four months immersed in the Halo universe again, and it’s an honor to now be Creative Director to help our team launch Halo Infinite in Fall 2021,” he adds.
“Yes, that will be when the game comes out. And from now until then, each of us at 343 Industries as well as the support teams will be building, testing and polishing an experience that we hope will be appreciated by all of you. “

Halo Infinite: Xbox Game Studios Big Launch for 2021 Christmas Campaign
When Staten entered the 343 Industries offices in July, there was a lot to do, but the main topic was very clear and simple: they needed more time to make the video game that everyone expects. That is why a launch in the fall and not – for example – in the spring. “That includes working hard this fall, giving the team time to recharge during the Christmas break and returning in January to finish the game,” he adds.
2021 will be a long year for 343 Industries and for Xbox Series X | S players, who are looking forward to Halo Infinite rising to the occasion. There will also be a version for Xbox One and PC, as well as availability on Xbox Game Pass from day one.
