than we thought

Description:
Halo Infinite still doesnt have a confirmed release date, but it looks like its been revealed prematurely.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

A release date for Halo Infinite may have been leaked, if a listing from a Taiwanese retailer and a screenshot from the Microsoft Store are to be believed.

Both images suggest Halo Infinite will release on December 8, 2021, which is slightly later than we expected. Halos 20th anniversary takes place on November 15, leading many to believe that Halo Infinite would drop on the
same date.

According to Twitter user ALumia_Italia, a Microsoft Store listing for Halo Infinites campaign page was updated, and showed that the game will be
released on December 8, 2021. A quick check of Halo Infinites Microsoft Store page shows the placeholder date of December 31, 2021, so its unclear when these screenshots were taken, or even if theyre 100% legitimate.

What strengthens this leak, though, is a product listing from a Taiwanese retailer that also points to the same release date of December 8. Twitter
user Idle Sloth shared a screenshot of the information (thanks, VGC ), but noted that it says Forge will be included, which weve since learned wont be the case. (Rumor) Possible Halo Infinite release date from a Taiwanese online shopping website. The informations says that the release date is December
8th. But is also says the forge will be in the game at launch. pic.twitter.com/LorxaQhT6v August 25, 2021 See more

Surprisingly, Halo Infinite didnt feature in Microsofts Xbox Gamescom livestream, which took place on August 24. It would have made sense for Microsoft to reveal the games release date, but an announcement is now tipped to take place during Gamescom Opening Night Live , which takes place today, August 25, at 11am PT / 7pm BST / 2pm ET (or August 26 at 4am AEST).

With Forza Horizon 5 releasing on November 9 and PlayStation 5s Horizon: Forbidden West reportedly pushed back to 2022, it makes sense for Microsoft
to give its big holiday titles some breathing room.

A release date of December 8 also gives developer 343 Industries a little
more wiggle room when it comes to polishing the game and squashing any bugs that may be present, which is always welcome.

Head of Xbox Phil Spencer has previously said that Halo Infinites release
date hasnt been shared as Microsoft was still finalizing the release timing, and that other games could affect when Halo Infinite would launch. While not specifically mentioned, Spencer will have been referring to the likes of Call of Duty: Vanguard , which we now know will release on November 5, 2021.

Halo Infinite is due to release on Xbox One , Xbox Series X |S and PC. Itll also be available to Xbox Game Pass subscribers on day one, and the games multiplayer mode will be free-to-play for the first time in the series history. Xbox Series X vs Xbox Series S : what's the difference?
