In case you missed it, 343 Industries’ Halo Infinite has been delayed to 2021 and can not launch alongside the Xbox Series X this November. After the delay was introduced, Xbox boss Phil Spencer made an appearance on Gary Whitta‘s Animal Talking the place Whitta questioned him on the delay and the explanations behind it, and Spencer revealed that one of many potential plans offered earlier than the delay resolution was made was truly splitting them game into distinct elements.
“Let me begin simply by recognizing the followers and the truth that it’s a bummer, as you mentioned,” Spencer says first after being requested in regards to the delay. “I do know it is disappointing to individuals; it is disappointing to us. We had been wanting ahead to the alignment of Halo and the launch of [Xbox] Series X as a extremely sort of seminal second nearly for Xbox.”
The resolution in the end got here from 343 Industries’ Bonnie Ross, Xbox Game Studios’ Matt Booty, and Spencer himself, and Spencer goes on to confess that there have been different potential avenues offered. “They got here with some choices, the issues that we may do,” Spencer says. “Maybe elements of the game that we may ship on given dates, and it simply did not really feel — to all of us — just like the Halo launch that we’d need. So, in the long run, I make the decision primarily based on the knowledge that they current. I make a name, like I mentioned, with hopefully the very best intent in the long term for our followers and our platform.”
