It’s no secret thatHalo Infiniteis easily the biggest game coming soon toXbox Series XandXbox Series Slater this year, and that it’s also one of the most important releases for the franchise as a whole. There’s a lot riding on the game, as fans are hoping that Halo Infinite’s innovative campaign structure and sandbox-driven arena gameplay will returnHaloto the limelight. Because of this, fans have been eagerly anticipating a release date for the game, but so far, one hasn’t come.
This might no longer be the case, however, as Halo Infinite’s release month has potentially been revealed…by an advertisement for donuts. That’s right — aTweetfrom the verified Xbox Mexico Twitter account has possibly suggested that the game is coming during the month of November.

“Why wait for November if we can start the festivities now?” the advertisement reads. “Xbox Mexico and @MexKrispyKreme, we celebrate 20 years of the Master Chief with a special edition Halo Infinite donut. Available July 30.”
We were expecting the game’s release window to be publicly revealed soon since the winter season is only a few months away, but we have to admit that we weren’t expecting to learn about itthisway. It’s important to note that the ad could be referring to the date of the 20th Anniversary of the Halo series, too, but it’s impossible to say for sure — maybe Halo Infiniteandthe 20th Anniversary are being celebrated? Either way, it’s weird that we might be learning of Halo Infinite’s potential November release window through a dessert ad, but we’re not complaining. We will be if those Halo Infinite donuts are exclusive to the Mexico region, though.
Halo Infinite is expected to launch for $60 on all current Xbox consoles as well as Windows 10 (andWindows 11) PCs. The singleplayer side of the game looks like it will cost $60, although the multiplayer will be free. TheHalo Infinite betais also going live for the first time from July 29 to August 1, so make sure you sign up to help 343 Industries test the game.
A new Great Journey awaits
Halo Infinite is the biggest Xbox game of the year by far, and based on what we saw at E3 2021, it looks like it’s going to be fantastic.
