It looks likeHalo Infinitedevelopers, 343 Industries, is sticking toNovember’s promise of being much more communicative. Back in December, we received an update from the team,revealing a Fall 2021 release datefor the title. Now, just a month since then, one of the game’s community managers has outlined what the communication is going to look like.
Posting onReddit, community manager Brian Jarrard stated that the team have “some runway ahead of us” to reveal updates ahead of this Fall’s launch. Going forwards, players won’t have to wait long for information, with Jarrard stating that 343 Industries is committed to releasing “high level updates” on at least a monthly basis.
Jarrard also confirmed that the next “Inside Infinite” will be coming within the next few days. He steadied expectations by saying the video “won’t have world premier big screenshots or huge things like a date announce” but will instead look at the team’s insights and visions forHalo Infinite.
The game has faced a slightly troubled time over the past few months. Reaction tothe gameplay revealwas incredibly tepid, leading toInfinite’sofficial delay in August. Since then, the project has faced a range of staffing changes including theloss of experienced director Chris Leeand therehiring ofHaloveteran Joseph Staten.
Fans were disappointed with the graphical quality on display duringHalo Infinite’sofficial gameplay premiere back in July. This lead343 Industries to make a statementsaying that during development they had “decided to shift back towards the legacy aesthetics that defined the original trilogy.” Experts have since stated thatthis is something that can easily be fixed.
Halo Infiniteis due out in Fall 2021, on PC and both Xbox Series S|X and Xbox One — despite whatsome rumours might have suggested.
