In August 2020, Microsoft and 343 Industries announced that Halo Infinite has been delayed until 2021. And today, we finally have a release window. According to the teams, Halo Infinite now targets a Fall 2021 release date.
As 343 Industries’ Joseph Staten said:
“After Reach shipped, I became a Halo fan, cheering-on 343i from the sidelines. But I’ve spent the last four months immersing myself back into the Halo universe, and it’s my honor as creative director to help our team ship Halo Infinite in Fall 2021.”
In addition, 343 Industries shared two new multiplayer screenshots for this upcoming Halo game. These screenshots showcase improved visuals.
As 343 Industries’ Ani Shastry noted:
“Some of the key areas of progress include better quality of global illumination, ambient occlusion, shadows, volumetric lighting, sky, and atmosphere. We have also addressed issues with our GPU-driven rendering and texture streaming solution that should mitigate the LOD popping and texture quality issues that were prevalent in the July demo.”
So yeah, don’t expect to be playing Halo Infinite anytime soon.
Enjoy the screenshots and stay tuned for more!

“…should mitigate the LOD popping and texture quality issues that were prevalent in the July demo”
The demo that the shill at Digital Foundry laughably tried defending. I’m sure such things are entirely unrelated to DF having been sponsored by Microsoft to produce videos.
DF’s other very recent fall from grace was in relation to the latest Call of Duty game. They did a video gushing with praise that seemed at pains to quickly gloss over any shortcomings. The whole tone of the video felt different to their usual approach so it looked suspicious.
Then a couple of days later they published another video about said game that was officially sponsored by its publisher. Surprise, surprise!
DF has fallen. It’s now a laughing stock which has become little more than a paid for marketing mouthpiece of the games industry. They still present themselves as being trustworthy but fewer people are buying it now. Quite sad really because DF was once great.
It was predictable AF, at the moment they became the N1 gaming tech analysis channel, it was obvious the checks will come from everywhere, especially in a time where graphics are the main marketing argument for AAA games
As is commonplace for the access media they’ve seemingly traded their integrity for advertising dollars, continued access and freebies. Presumably due to pressure from Eurogamer parent company Gamer Network.
I stopped watching their videos when they claimed DLSS 4K makes the game better looking than native 4K res.
Besides everything surrounding the game, it microtransactions and SJW elements, Gears 5 is a technical marvel dude, and the art direction is decent, it runs exceptionally well on both console and PC, and looks really great for the performance, pretty much everyone praised these aspects of Gears 5 including DSOG and the people who didn’t like the game itself
You suggest me to see a Crowbcat video, c’mon man i eat his videos for breakfast, this isn’t a tech analysis and i think you didn’t get what i said, i only speak about the technical side of this game, the game itself sure is inferior to the Epic trilogy by far.
Dead or not, Epic or not, it doesn’t prevent the game from being good on the technical side, you’re really the only one who thinks otherwise, it’s always 100% or 0% with you, there is something right between masterpiece and utter garbage, there is most of the times something good to keep even on the worst games, just look at Halo 4 for example to stay in the context, the game is what it is, miles behind what Bungie did but it was by far the most beautiful Halo game at release
And here we go again, i wanted to stick to the main subject, the technical side of the game, and you always find a way to go beyond which is a whole different subject that i don’t want to discuss at all, all i wanted to say is that the game looks and runs great, you can’t just deny what’s obvious even if it was made by trannies or elephants
“probably last game from the IP”
Never heard of Gears Tactics ? Anyway, the series needs to die whatever the outcome, it can’t evolve in a gameplay perspective and it suffers from the same problem as Halo, it was done by devs who wanted to do it, now it’s just done by devs asked to do it. In fact i don’t even understand why people are so pissed about this, the series peaked in it second episode and it couldn’t go further, it just MS that pushed for it and wanted to make it a permanent IP, probably thinking at the time that cover shooters are future-proof…
“mentioned it was universally praised”
FFS… Universally praised for it technical qualities, not for the rest.
One of the things you didn’t understand is that i barely care about the series since the 3rd episode, i lost interest in it even before GoW4 was revealed, i just give credit where credit’s due, there are so much games i don’t like but i can still praise and respect some well done aspects of these games, i hate Crysis 2 but i can’t deny it technical qualities for example, just like i love GTA IV but i hate it PC port, recently i played Serious Sam 4 which is by far the worst episode of the series, but i respect what they’ve done with the guns, as it turns out to have the best gunplay in the series, get it ?
Do you practice speaking woke elite bollocks or does it just come naturally?
They’re improving the game, they’re giving a good timeline, and the IP is as strong as ever. Dead? No.
Strong as ever? The IP is on life support. The largest studio in all of gaming cannot get this turd to float.
Indeed. There’s been a general decline in sales of the Halo franchise for quite some time now.
Well, given it’s included in Games Pass, it’s actually in the hands of more gamers than ever. What “data” are you looking at to come to your conclusions of life support? It’s one of the biggest selling, most successful IPs of the last two decades and continues to be so. MCC is hugely successful, and continues to grow on PC and Xbox too.
Yeah, it’s one of the best selling IPs, but I wouldn’t bother arguing. Some people on this forums are immune to the facts. No sense in trying to reason with them, because they will discount any facts that challenge what they believe.
Strong as ever ? Do you live in 2007 ? How is it strong as ever ? The last good Halo game was released a decade ago, the series is a meme now and the only good thing that came from it recently is a remastered collection of the old episodes, it definitely means the series is dying.
Bungie were doing games they wanted to do, but 343 are doing the games they’re asked to do, that’s the difference bro
Still doesn’t look next-gen to me, sadly. This can’t even compete with Crysis 3. Also Doom eternal with the correct lighting mod looks better too. I think they are not streaming the correct 4k/8k textures to make it run 60fps.
Ross should have been removed long ago. Anyone including Phil Spencer that thought what we were shown was remotely acceptable are party and party to the the disaster that has been HALO since 343 was handed the reigns.
The only developers that has any Halo DNA left is working on making MCC better. The rest are woke garbage working on Infinite.
The only saving grace is that after MCC gets mod support, halo will live on in the Fans much like Bethesda games.
Actually Splash Damage are the ones working on the PC ports.
I an several others tried to tell people over at that abortion site n4g.com that the game was not coming until the fall and we were soundly attacked. I demonstrated the simple logic of why a few months would not allow the changes MS desired but common sense was not common for some persons. Its laughable at this point really.
