'Halo Infinite' hasn't set a date for release yet because they're "waiting for other games".
Halo Infinite
Microsoft’s head of gaming Phil Spencer has confirmed the game - which was originally expected to be released in 2020 but was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic - will be released something over the festive period this year but he is looking at a "three-to-four-week range" because of other game releases.
He said: "For us, we know kind of our range in the three-to-four-week range. We don’t have yet the exact day, there’s some other things with some other game timing that we’re trying to look at. We’ll have better clarity over the summer, but this isn’t a months thing, this is just down to a few weeks, and so instead of picking this date and having to move it by a week, which at this point would feel like a fail, we don’t want to do that, let’s wait until we’re really solid on what the date is."
And Spencer says the team are "very committed" to releasing the game by the end of the year.
Speaking on the Dropped Frames podcast, he added: "But the team’s very committed to holiday, we feel good about that, and the way that Pierre [Hintze] and Joseph [Staten] are running the team.
"I feel good about the confidence we have in both quality and getting the game done ... I think 2022 is going to be a pretty amazing year because you’ve just got a lot of stuff that was supposed to be in 2021 that has ended up in 2022."
