In talks with DroppedFrames Podcast, Xbox Executive Vice President, Phil Spencer confirmed that the game for 2021. He also indicated that Xbox was waiting for other games’ release date to avoid clash.

Spencer quoted “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.”

The game will be available on Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X and Series S with the most expansive Master Chief campaign yet. And will also feature a free-to-play multiplayer portion.
