Will Halo Infinite be delayed?
Halo infinite is due to be a launch title for theXbox Series X, which is due to release in late 2020. While the team is still able to work on the game remotely, the world health situation is constantly developing - so it’s hard to say whether Halo Infinite will be delayed. But, at least for now, it looks like a Halo Infinite delay isn’t on the cards.
There have been rumors that Xbox Series X will be delayed due to Covid-19 butwe don’t think that will be the caseand Microsoft is still publishing posts citing “Holiday 2020” as the console’s release date.
“Beyond all of that though, please remember that this is bigger than games and bigger than Halo,” the post continued. “Practice social distancing whenever possible (like the Blue Spartans above who are staying an Elephant’s length away from each other), wash your hands, and do your best to keep it clean. We’re all in this together.”
