After an infinite metric wait, Halo Infinite finally has release date. The next chapter of the Master Chief saga will be released on December 8 for Xbox One, Xbox Series X / S and PC, according to a list withdrawn from the Microsoft store, as seen by the Italian site Lumia updates.
Microsoft is expected to officially announce the date on the Gamescom Opening Night Live broadcast today.
Oh, funny trivia: this is almost two decades after the publication of Halo: Combat Evolved, which landed on the original Xbox on November 15, 2001.
However, there is still a problem. How Kotaku noted above, Halo Infinite will throw to pieces. Initially it will not have a cooperative game for the campaign, either on local split screen or online combination. Also missing is the popular Forge mode, which allows players to create, share and fight in custom multiplayer stages. (Historically, the burning of player creation is sometimes cycled HelloMain competitive playlists). Both features are slated for inclusion a few months after the game’s second season.
That doesn’t mean there isn’t a whole, complete much to look forward to. On the one hand, the campaign looks phenomenal. Collection after the events of Halo 5: Guardians—A game that had no narrative meaning and that barely presented the head for some reason—Halo Infinite sends his head to Zeta Halo, where he will fight the exiles, a rogue group of brutes who played a major role in the real-time strategy game Halo Wars 2. Although the developer 343 Industries has not officially called Halo Infinite an “open world game,” a look at last summer revealed a level on a large scale with multiple goals that you could achieve to your liking.

There are also the multiplayer. In a first series, Halo Infinite includes multiplayer bots. At the end of last month, 343 organized a technical test, designed for both server stability and see how robots would hold up in real-world conditions. They acted surprisingly well. Fighting InfinityThe bots had the feeling of fighting real flesh and blood players, which makes sense were modeled according to IRL human behavior. (InfinityPlayer versus player is also an explosion. For a couple of hours during the flight, 343 opened the runway for competitive matches. He ruled.)
Halo Infinite was long planned as the launch title for Microsoft’s next-generation consoles; The initial packaging of the Xbox Series X shows art with Master Chief and a Halo landscape. Then, last August, 343 delayed the game to an unspecified date in 2021, citing complications arising from the Covid-19 pandemic as one of the reasons.
