Xbox Series S/X released on November 10 and the response has been tremendous. However, the Xbox wasn’t accompanied by an exclusive title at launch. Halo Infinite was supposed to fill this void before 343 Industries announced a delay in its release.
The ongoing pandemic is the driving reason behind the delay, but the developers have highlighted several other factors over the last few weeks.
Fans since then have been pretty eager to know more about the process of development. But 343 Industries has been quite successful in keeping everything under wraps.

However, via a post on Halo Waypoint, 343 Industries studio head Bonnie Ross addressed the elephant in the room. He stated that the studio is well aware of the disappointment around Halo Infinite. But the delay is happening for a reason, he said.
The recent Waypoint post sheds light on several fronts of the studio. This includes updates on the Master Chief Collection, an update on the Halo Esports community, and concludes with a message from the studio head around the Halo franchise.
“As we recently announced, Halo Infinite will release in the fall of 2021. I realize the wait has been difficult, and I assure you that the team wants the game in your hands as soon as possible, but they also want to deliver something special… the Halo game you deserve. Thank you for your patience, your understanding, and most importantly your words of support to the team.”
