What you need to know
Beyond knowing that it will release in Fall 2021, the official release date forHalo Infinitehas been a mystery ever since its delay. However, actor Verlon Roberts recently revealed the specific launch window of the game before it was supposed to go public in apodcaston YouTube. Roberts stated that the game is going to launch in “late November of this year,” which means thatHalofans can expect to get their hands on Halo Infinite in late November 2021. Notably, Steve Downes, the voice of the Master Chief, has also stated on apodcast episodethat the game will release in November. Neither of these statements have been confirmed officially by 343 Industries, but the studio may clarify the release date soon now that the voice actors have talked about it.
In terms of what role Roberts is playing in the game, it was stated in the podcast that he’s voice acting the character of “Spartan Griffin.” While most Halo fans probably don’t know about this character, people who have read the Halo: Shadows of Reach novel will remember that he’s in the book and goes with Spartan Sarah Palmer and other Spartan-IVs to link up with Master Chief in the story.
Assuming everything Roberts and Downes said in the podcasts were true, it’s cool to see a new character from the expanded universe make it into a Halo game. Also, it’s awesome to finally have a specific launch month to look forward to for Halo Infinite, though the news will no doubt be disappointing if you were hoping for the game to launch in early Fall. It’s important to keep in mind that the information the voice actors have may be outdated, however, and things may change.
Halo Infinite is expected to launch on theXbox Series X,Xbox Series S, Xbox One consoles, and Windows 10 PCs. The game’s price is expected to be $60 much like other big AAA titles, though the multiplayer will be free and will run at120 FPS on Xbox Series X and Series S. Additionally, we highly recommend checking out the Master Chief Collection while you wait for Halo Infinite, as it bundles all of the pre-Xbox One Halo shooters together for an excellent price. This easily makes it one of thebest Xbox One shootersout there.
