Rumor: Halo Infinite releases on September 2021, new glimpse of revamped Campaign + Multiplayer focus at E3, Public Beta after the show

[P40L0]

Ok, I think this may be threadworthy.

coalteastwood just stated that, based on his personal "sources close to Xbox Game Studios":

• Halo Infinite will open the show with a new glimpse of the Campaign in order to show its graphical improvements over last year + Multiplayer Showcase (which will be the real focus of its presentation);
• Its graphical improvement will be big compared to last year, but probably won't be enough to elevate it to the "best looking game ever" as some people expect it to be (very subjective comment mostly based on the fact that colt dosn't like the old/new art style, which personally I LOVE compared to the H4/H5 one instead);
• Halo Infinite Multiplayer will have a new mode similar to an hybrid of Battle Royale + Battlefield Conquest + Halo BTB all at the same time, with the biggest and most dense combat of the series;
• Halo Infinite will release on September 2021;
• An Halo Infinite Multiplayer "Demo" (or Public Beta more likely) will be released for everyone at the end of the show!

Here's the time stamped video (3:10):




What do you think?

EDIT:

Since February "Inside Infinite" update, 343i are very insistently inviting everyone to sign-up to "Halo Insider Program" here
I believe that would be the base requirement in order to access the first Public Beta once available, but I'm still not sure if this will also require installing some Insider Dashboard OS or not.

I guess we'll find out very soon anyway ;)

A September release would be godlike.

 

[Dest]

I believe it.

 

[KillLaCam]

I hope

 

[ASleepingMonkey]

I hope so, it sounds like a move Xbox would do. Would be awesome

 

[Gotchaforce]

How trustworthy is the source?

 

[Snake Eater]

can't wait for this game

 

[Plum]

I was 100% expecting November so anything before that is incredible.

Looking forward to the hyper-analaysis of the gameplay from a 1080p/30fps stream to determine whether it's "good-looking" or not (with no regard for art-style, gameplay considerations or technical limitations, of course.)

 

[Milennia]

End of the show? Like I'm playing the game in 2 weeks? Holy shit

 

[Zebesian-X]

September would be PRIME. Plenty of breathing room between it and BF 6 and COD.

Very eager to finally play this game

 

[shanew21]

I think a graphics sizzle reel is a smart move, specifically if they do before/after comparisons. Easier to see the improvements that way.

That Halo BTB mode sounds incredible

 

[Zeta Ori]

Infinite multiplayer beta right after the show would be amazing

 

[Jroc]

Sounds good to me!

September makes sense considering the game almost came out last November. Its also when Halo 3 and Halo Reach launched so its a good month.

 

[TheCongressman]

Sounds pretty realistic. I really hope there's a beta.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Looking forward to trying it! The MP reveal will be exciting I'm sure.

Its graphical improvement will be big compared to last year, but probably won't be enough to elevate it to the "best looking game ever" as some people expect it to be (very subjective comment mostly based on the fact tha colt dosn't like the old/new art style, which personally I LOVE compared to the H4/H5 one instead);

Who is expecting this? They're dumb. It's an open world game that needs to maintain performance on base Xbox One.

It looked great for that scenario already when we saw it. Next time we see it it'll be even better.

 

[Bman94]

Wow, September? Microsoft must have a big title ready for November then.

 

[Bulby]

Be still my beating heart...

 

[data]

Looking forward to it

 

[Spring-Loaded]

The very first shot of any new trailer better be Craig

Forza Horizon 5 is either launching in October or November if Halo is a September release.

 

[Indy in the Fridge]

Dude I can't believe I could be trying this game out in just a couple of weeks.

 

[Helix]

yeah...I don't know...

 

[bsigg]

So a soft launch of MP in a week. That's pretty wild.

Wow, September? Microsoft must have a big title ready for November then.

What if all the Starfield 2022 rumors were started as obfuscation?

He is "trustworthy" like Tidux.

If this is true then except this game to be huge especially with the multiplayer being F2P.

 

[Yuntu]

Is this source trustworthy?

I think Dice plans to handle that for them just fine ;)

 

[Hippopuncher12]

September is sooner than I would have thought. I hope it ends up being good.

[nekkid]

He can't even get the name of Xbox Game Studios right. What a fraud!

Spoiler

I believe him

 

[KDC720]

Sounds believable enough. I can imagine the open beta drop either opening or closing the presentation.

 

[OldBenKenobi]

Hopefully beta drops for PC too 🙏🏽

It's one of the those huge fanboy YouTubers, so probably grain of salt.

 

[JustAnotherOne]

September would be a freaking dream.

 

[Type VII]

I'll have to squeeze it in somewhere between Judgment 2, Tales of Arise and the new Life is Strange.

 

[nofuckinidea]

Being 4k60 with Split screen and big hub worlds, people expect Infinite to be the best looking game ever? Wild.

 

[TheGhost]

September? Keeps it safe away from COD
I would believe it if Starfield was coming but it's not.

 

[Mirev]

This game could lead me to Xbox.

 

[Edge]

Shadowdrop Beta after E3 presentation? Fuck yeah.

 

[Friender]

9 days until we find out for sure. I didn't like the sound of the feedback from testers that indicated 'it looks improved, but not the 'mind blowing tip-top visuals we've come to expect from 343' comment.

 

[Zephon]

An Halo Infinite Multiplayer "Demo" (or Public Beta more likely) will be released for everyone at the end of the show!

This sounds too good to be true.

 

[FusionNY]

September ain't happening cause that would make me happy

 

[Yappa]

Didn't expect a release in 2021.
Guess I'll have to read up on Halo 5 story, because I won't get to play it on PC before Infinite...

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

September feels way too soon, in my opinion. Considering what they showed a year ago, and if it's out in September, then it'll go gold in August, which gives it about just over a year to fix the game up from what they showed in E3. That's just me.

 

[irishonion]

It doesn't have to be the best looking game ever. Just....better than whatever the heck was showed last time.

Don't mess with my heart

 

[Moara]

if true, hopefully the beta drops on PC as well! Would be a good idea to test cross play anyways.

 

[Bradbatross]

I don't know why Xbox insiders/fans post stuff like this. It's most likely not going to be true and then it'll just leave people disappointed.

 

[UnluckyKate]

This sounds like a wish list but also, technically, entirely plausible.

 

[Deleted member 6235]

i doubt this
