While 343 Industries and Microsoft went relatively silent aboutHalo Infiniteafter its big delay was announced, reveals for the game have been ramping up. 343 has provided monthly updates onHalo Infinite, giving fans an idea of what to expect from the game, though many details still have yet to be revealed. Notably,Halo Infinitedoes not have an official release date and most of its story details are being kept underwraps, but it seems some of these details have been leaked.
Actor Verlon Roberts recently appeared on the Fadam and Friends podcast, where he discussed his involvement withHalo Infinite. During the podcast, Roberts talked aboutHalo Infinite’s delay, stating that the game’s release date has been pushed back to November. This is a notable admission, as previously all that was known aboutHalo Infinite’s new release date was that it was aiming for a release in the fall.

Roberts apparently knows this because he will be playing a role in the game. Roberts said that he has done voice acting and motion capture work for the character Spartan Griffin, confirming the character forHalo Infinite. CasualHalofans may not recognize the game, but diehards will recognize Spartan Griffin from theHalonovelShadows of Reach. What’s more is that Griffin has apparently recorded scenes with Master Chief’s actor, meaning the two Spartans will come face to face at some point duringHalo Infinite’s campaign.
This is a rather major leak forHalo Infinite, assuming Roberts' information is accurate. A November release would make a lot of sense forHalo Infiniteas it would put it out just in time for the holiday shopping season. Plus, mostHalogames have released in November, includingHalo: Combat Evolved. WithHalo Infinitepaying homage toCombat Evolvedthrough its art style and box art, it wouldn’t be surprising to see it aim for a similar release date as that game as well.
IfHalo Infiniteis aiming for a November release date, it’s hard to say when exactly fans will find out. It’s entirely possible that one of theInside Infinite updates from 343will contain the information, but the more likely scenario is that the release date will be revealed at a special event of some kind.
A game likeHalo Infiniteis big enough to warrant its own presentation, but one has to imagine that Microsoft will be saving it for its presentation this summer. AnXbox game reveal eventhas been confirmed to be taking place during the summertime, possibly at E3 2021, so fans should find out much Infinitein a matter of months.
Halo Infinitewill launch fall 2021 for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
