The new playlist marks the celebration of the Halo 3’s anniversary, but it’s important to keep in mind that it isn’t a remake of the original game.

Fans for long have been waiting for a remake of one of their most beloved titles in the series. While Microsoft has kept a lid on it, they will probably announce it some time soon. Until then, fans can enjoy the iconic game through The Master Chief Collection on Xbox One and PC.

Infinite is the next title in the franchise and was supposed to release this year. However, the devs announced a delay in the title that will see the game release in 2021 since the game required a bit more time in the oven.

Naturally, the fans weren’t too happy with this piece of news. They had hoped the launch of the console would be accompanied by the new Halo title. Sadly, with how things are right now, the game will need quite some work and time yet. Until then, fans can enjoy the Classic Throwback that is available now.
