Mixed feelings among Xbox fans. Xbox Series X is now confirmed for November, but “Halo Infinite” won’t be released until 2021.
It had already been speculated, but now Microsoft has given official confirmation: The new Xbox Series X console will be released in November 2020. Before that, it had only been “End of 2020”. In the same breath there was also negative news: The sci-fi shooter “Halo Infinite” is not about to be launched, but only in 2021. This means that the new Xbox lacks a major launch exclusive. Sony’s PlayStation 5 has “Spider-Man: Miles Morales” up its sleeve when it comes out in autumn.
That’s why “Halo” is postponed
“The decision to postpone the ‘Halo Infinite’ date is the result of several factors, including the corona pandemic,” writes Chris Lee, studio boss at “Halo” developer 343 Industries, in a statement. “I would like to underline the hard work of the team at 343 Industries, dedicated to creating a great game and finding solutions to the problems in the development process. However, it is not sustainable for the team’s health and the success of the game, ‘Halo Infinite ‘to publish this year. “
Instead, Xbox emphasizes that more than 50 new games will appear this year, which are also available on Xbox Series X and offer special features there, including “Assassin’s Creed Valhalla”, “Dirt 5”, “Gears Tactics”, “Yakuza : Like a Dragon “and” Watch Dogs: Legion “.
