To anyone thinking that Halo Infinite is gonna be Series X only now that it's delayed - it's not happening. That's not why MS is making it's multiplayer part F2P. Which is of course, the most important part of the game as it will bring the most money. If it was a singleplayer game - sure, they could have made a decision to make it next-gen only. But with multiplayer - not gonna happen.

I'm cool with the delay. When you got the systems, there's never a drought. Not the biggest Halo fan anyway, so that wasn't the main reason I wanted it anyway. Looking forward to Yakuza, hopefully 14..., DQ in December, maybe Ass Creed, and maybe Cyberpunk if it's bargain bin jk :)

Wonder if Infinite is 1st half or 2nd half of 2021.

Honestly I think AC will be delayed next.

Bruh it's MS. You know it's 2nd half 2021. Only time I feel they release games, sadly.

I'm hoping 1st half, going to suck waiting another whole year if they decide 2nd half.

A necessary choice given the state of the game and reactions to what was shown. Between building an engine, leads leaving and COVID, there's just been a compounding effect on Infinite's development. Many games, especially huge AAA games, really come together in the last months of development leading up to launch. The pandemic's thrown a massive wrench into all of that.

I think it's a blow to launch, no doubt. Infinite was a huge pillar behind the Series X, the big game Microsoft would center launch around. It's not the *only* selling point, but a big one. The decision to delay was no doubt a very, very difficult one to make. Having known people who had to get projects done in time for launch no matter the costs, it took some balls to call this by the studio, undoubtedly facing down a line of angry execs. Maybe however it is just a sign of the industry maturing, and not just deciding to break the team in order to launch at any cost...ultimately, it's for the best for the game and team.

At the same time, expect news about other Xbox stuff that's been going around recently to come a bit later too.

Big game pass game day one pls Better not be some EA Access partnership.

Halo delay sucks but its for the best.
Also i got the new store update today. Its very nice.

No Halo sucks but it’s better than launching a crappy game or putting the developers through hellish crunch. Plus it’s not like the announced PS5 launch lineup is blowing anyone away. I wonder if they try to snag some big game for GamePass in response to this?

Man this is the most bizarre console launch timeline ever. The biggest game from either system is delayed but we still don’t even know when the systems are coming or what the prices are lol

That's lame... I wanted the controller earlier than that :/

Was hoping they would put that puppy for sale end of August/early september.

According to TweakTown - https://www.tweaktown.com/news/74411/warnermedia-restructuring-leads-to-layoffs-fate-of-wb-games-uncertain/index.html

AT&T is licensing everything out, including Mortal Kombat (Lol) but they'd be exclusive licenses to whoever acquires WBIE.

Feel kinda bad for NetherRealm, Mortal Kombat is their IP but AT&T is going to keep it and license it out...

Exclusive licenses will likely mean the studios would have to remain multiplatform and would likely be for a long period of time, Star Wars for example is 10 years for EA.

just buy the studio and let them do KI
