Phil Spencer, Halo Infinite’s holiday release coordinator, assures that the team feels good about it

The delayed next-gen Halo will arrive before 2021.

The Halo Infinite gameplay debut was not well received last year, so the release date was changed to a 2021 date. This was eventually narrowed to Fall 2021 (Spring for Australians), but there has been much speculation online about the exact release date, particularly in light of its absence at E3 2021.

Phil Spencer, Xbox chief, says you don’t need to panic. Although Microsoft has not yet released a release date, the game is still expected to be available in 2021.

Spencer stated that “we know kind of our range within the 3-4 week range,” during an interview with Dropped Frames. (via IGN). We don’t know the exact date. We’re looking at other aspects of game timing. While we’ll be able to see more clearly over the summer, this is not a matter of months. It’s just a matter of a few weeks.

Although the release date is set, Spencer warns that defining a date too soon could lead to more disappointment. After all, a new Call of Duty game will be released this holiday season, and Microsoft may not want to release it too close to the time. He said that instead of choosing a date and moving it by one week, which would be a failure at this point, we don’t want that. Instead, let’s wait until “we’re really sure on what the date will be.”

Although Spencer and Joseph Staten won’t be able to confirm, it looks like Halo Infinite will be coming this year. If you are a fan old school Halo 3, the multiplayer show looked promising.
