Development studio 343 Industries, however, will not complete Microsoft's big Halo Infinite exclusive within the promised deadline. The game has been postponed to 2021.
Microsoft and Sony still plan to launch new consoles for the 2020 holiday season, although it is questionable whether the COVID-19 virus will make it difficult to distribute and sell them. Microsoft has once again confirmed that we can expect the Xbox Series X in November 2020, which is again not a precise term, but hey - mic by mic, that will come. We will be happy if they announce the price of the console before it goes on sale.
In general, as a potential release day, Friday, November 6 is the best. It is possible that the console will be released on "Friday the 13th", the weekend before the release of hit games such as Cyberpunk 2077 and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. The least chances are that the console will be launched on November 27, when the so-called Black Friday, because that would cause confusion.
Unfortunately, on the date that the Xbox Series X hits the market, it has been confirmed that Microsoft's new console will not have its biggest exclusive on the first day - Halo Infinite. That game has been postponed to 2021. From Microsoft's promise that the Xbox Series X will be the first Xbox console after the original Xbox to launch with the new Halo game, we've come to the conclusion that the Xbox Series X will be the first Xbox console not to be launched with any Microsoft-produced game.
The reasons for the delay are the challenges in production caused by the consequences of the pandemic. However, the delay had hung in the air before. It was known that the game changed the creative director in the middle of development, and then last month - while we were still assured that the game was coming in the fall - Halo Infinite left fans indifferent with its mediocre graphic side.
The 343 Industries development team has promised to make the game better, but they obviously need time to do so. How much exactly - is not known, because in the postponement they do not mention when they will deliver Halo Infinite in 2021.
