Microsoft and 343 Industries have announced that Halo Infinite has been officially delayed until 2021. According to the teams, this is mostly due to multiple reasons, including the COVID 19 pandemic.

My guess is that the underwhelming reception of the game’s debut gameplay video is another reason behind this delay. And, to be honest, this delay is the right move (as long as 343 Industries significantly improves the game’s graphics).
As we’ve already said, that gameplay footage was from the PC version of Halo Infinite. Thus, it will be interesting to see whether or not Halo Infinite PC will also see major visual improvements.
Halo Infinite continues the story of the Master Chief as the third chapter of the Reclaimer Saga. According to the team, this is a direct sequel to Halo 5: Guardian, and will give players more freedom than ever before to explore a sprawling Halo ring.
As Microsoft has already announced, its multiplayer mode will be free to play. It’s also worth noting that Sperasoft is helping with the game’s development.
Stay tuned for more!

So 5 years in development and the last 6 months have been the problem. ?
Blaming Covid and virtue signalling about avoiding ‘crunch’ is a smarter PR move than publicly admitting to their own incompetence!
right after vampire 2 got delayed, i think this is it boys, the party is over, games cost too much to make, and take too much time, need alot of polish, but are too complex. Next gen is a joke, very few game, even less exclusives and even less new ips. This is how gaming dies now with a bang but with a delay.
But THE CORONA THO!!
pfft, the corona isnt responsible for the mess that the following games were on launch.
-mass effect andromeda
-fallout 76
-anthem
-ghost recon breaking point
-generation zero
-assasin creed unity
-just cause 4
“Next gen is a joke”
I just backed the recently launched second crowdfunding campaign for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum Next so won’t be arguing that point, haha!
Pc players are a joke, nothing to Play, nothing to buy kkk, sell this barbies Pc hardware now
Consoles are dumbed down PC’s, you know that right?
The new Xbox is basically PC you know
“Learn how to properly make sentence…”
This is hilarious coming from the imbecile who forgets the “a” between “make” and “sentence”.
The fact that you go out of your way to a pc only website just to comment that,it shows that you got a lot of free time.
What happened? nothing to play on your beloved console?
The lack of even a single Craig meme saddens me.
“a rushed craig will forever have bad textures,a delayed craig will eventually have good textures”
Some xbox pr dude
Haha yes.. Yes… YHEEESSS!!!!!
Delay it to infinity for all I care.
” And, to be honest, this delay is the right move (as long as 343 Industries significantly improves the game’s graphics).”
C`mon…. Honestly you cant believe they will… Name a game that did that after fan backlash in the last 10 years…. fast and the furious crossroads maybe? lol. nah. they delayed it because its a unplayable,buggy and xbox one(base model lol) mess.
An awful developer so I couldn’t care less. Although it’s funny that Microsoft’s new Xbox console no longer has this Halo game as a launch title.
Since Sony morphed into Soyny they’re now ripe for the taking… and yet Microsoft continue to mess things up. smh
This new console generation is shaping up to be a hilarious mess.
After 7 years of being hamstrung by the mobile-oriented AMD Jaguar game devs will now finally have some decent console hardware to work with.
However, the reality is that we’ve already seen that publishers are prioritising shiny graphics over gameplay by way of all the many 30fps ‘next-gen’ games already showcased for these consoles.
Sure, some games will be 60fps and a small number will take advantage of being able to output at up to 120fps. But the best-looking and/or most complex games on the two main consoles will evidently continue having console gamers suffering playing at 30fps.
Exactly, there’s always so much potential (specially prior release when they try to overblow the capacity of the specs, clearly for marketing reasons…understandable in a way)…this time, they are so close to being a decent alternative…but they always butcher them with questionable priorities.
Sadly, graphics is what sells still to your average consolefag.

Shiny graphics?
These c*nts can barely make use of lighting or even texture a human face!
It’s not the hardware, it never was, it’s the time constraints and the complete lack of talent.

🙁 i remember when Silent Hill was good, the character models in 3 specially still look fantastic today.
Not just the characters also the lighting and shadows, they used some amazing techniques back then to fake indirect shadowing while still looking good
both sony and ms showed a bunch of indie games, i saw like 4 indie cartoonish graphics games that look like zelda starring a female character, all of them on pc. Next gen is a joke
“Get woke go broke”
On that general note, the news reports pertaining to the dramatic, but entirely predictable, implosion of DC Comics have been glorious to behold!
This what happens when they push diversity but idiots and dont have any idea about gaming industry, look at that graphics, even indy games is better than halo shitfinite
Doesn’t really really matter who competes anymore, the future is PC, that much is clear.
F UCK LGBT!
Haha yes & np.
500 millions for this. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f8ef271b465404a1658de8d03a682b7b4623651b2e557d56b1bbef6013ce3f36.jpg?w=600&h=814
All the better.
Better have a good game than a half-baked launch title.
Given that it looks like they are trying to make a Halo with a gass approach, i bet it will be half-baked anyways.
Better to be positive man
I can’t after what they showed..and when i remember that 343 is behind it.
Given that it looks like they are trying to make a Halo with a gass approach, i bet it will be half-baked anyways.
i wonder why every big game is getting a delayed….. maybe the new consoles are also delayed ??
also no wonder scam citizen takes like 15 years to finish …. look at all this mess
Microsoft confirmed that the new console will be out in November (Cyberpunk already was kinda a hint of that). PS5 won’t be late, a week earlier or later is my bet.
The whole panorama for launch releases in the console world seems desolate as the Sahara desert.
After so much negative publicity, it makes sense. Covid seems to be the easy excuse for everything these days.
