Do you think Infinite will get delayed into 2021?

The world has changed a lot due to the coronavirus, so many things have been canceled or delayed. Do you think 343 and MS will delay Infinite to some date in 2021?

If they delay Infinite, they have to delay the Series X since Infinite is a launch title of the Series X

Phil Spencer stated even if Infinite gets delayed, Series X won't be.

Ok

I've heard 343 is still trying to go for their original release. If Infinite does get delayed, it better not get delayed to Holiday 2021

100% yes. Looking at the bigger picture, we're 6 months away from the launch of Halo Infinite assuming it's still on time. If you look back at the launch years for previous Halo games, we should have more information than we currently have. The last bit of anything we heard was at E3 2019 aside from the Halo Infinite collectibles by Wicked Cool Toys. If you look back at Halo 5: Guardians, which came out in October 2015, we had information regarding the campaign, characters, and consumed with the "Hunt The Truth" anti-campaign by March/April 2015.

Don't you think it's a tad odd that we haven't heard or seen anything in almost a year? I'm not criticizing 343 though it'd be nice to hear something regarding what the latest is on Infinite's development. If its going to be delayed, that's fine, just come out and say it already. Besides, a 2021 release is much more fitting given that it'll be the 20th anniversary of Halo. Think about it! Hyping up Halo Infinite's release with a second tour of Outpost Discovery, HaloFest 2.0 details, and the Halo TV series by Showtime. Sounds like the perfect opportunity to me.

Considering the current state of things, I would not be surprised if the game gets delayed. Infinite is too important to fail; it is critical to the success of both the Series X and the Halo franchise going forward. 343/Microsoft is not going to release the game unless they are absolutely sure that it will be a hit. Also, like TheLegendary117 said, a delayed release means that they would have more time to promote the game and test for issues. It would also line up perfectly with the 20th anniversary of Halo.

I would have no problem with Infinite being delayed if that is what it comes down to, and I don't think that it would be right to blame 343/Microsoft. I blame the CCP for letting this virus get out of control. I just want everyone working on the game to stay safe, and if that means a delayed game then so be it.

Even if it does get delayed, I’m pretty sure most of us can stay patient. 343i doesn’t need to rush this, there’s already a lot of stress going around. The last thing they need is everyone overworking.

Ordinarily, I'd say yes, but for the first mainline Halo release in five years, I doubt Microsoft would pass up the holiday sales.

No because the xbox series x is still planning to still release I think l and halo I such a great way to kick of a new console.

I personally think that at the very least, Halo Infinite will make the 2020 deadline, however, it likely might not be here until late November or early December. But at this point, I wouldn't be so sure about anything, so like, 75% sure It'll be here before 2021.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought infinite was going to be released Holdiay 2020 assuming there were no delays, so I kind of doubt we’ll get it then. But hey, at least you’re hopeful
