After the Microsoft Store accidentally leaked the release date earlier today, we now have official confirmation that Halo Infinite is arriving for Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC on December 8.
Of course, the multiplayer will be free-to-play, as previously confirmed, and the campaign will be available to purchase separately or available for Xbox Game Pass members at no extra charge. Coming alongside the announcement is an impressive new cinematic trailer, introducing season one of the multiplayer.
We know both co-op campaign and Forge mode won't be available at launch but instead will be dropping in subsequent seasons down the line. 343 Industries tampered with the idea of delaying the game but instead settled on releasing the package as it is this December.
It's great to finally have a release date after a huge delay from its original 2020 launch. This December, Halo is back.
Bring it on!

They still didn’t show anything for campaign. I’m wondering if all the stuff circulating about the campaign is legit. Makes me nervous.
Let's gooooo, Spartans!
@FatalBubbles any specific rumors you've heard? Obviously just rumors of turmoil and dev he*l. I'm wondering why they would wait outside of major issues to hide.
At least we have a release date, but still not seen any single player. Hmmmm.
I hate to be that guy but this has to be the most boring cinematic trailer I have seen in many years. In no way does it hype the idea of being a Spartan.
Spartans land in drop pods and I was getting excited thinking I was about to watch some Halo bad-assness......nope fade to black, fights over, everyone's smiling.
Looking forward to december
@Bdbrady This article is the gist of it all.

This should of been in yesterday's xbox show. Seriously Microsoft what are you doing. And still no campaign gameplay!!! We shall see.
Thought the trailer was pretty cool. But shocked the Dec 8th release was just announced quietly with small text on a screen. Blink and you’d miss it. I mean we know it leaked earlier today but you think they’d have made a bigger deal of it.
It's going to be a bad campaign. It's 343 so no surprises.
It will probably not be eligible for The Game Awards, releasing on December 8th. And maybe that's intentional. Like Cyberpunk 2077.
I miss when Halo cared about the campaign. It seems like all we’ve seen or heard about is the multiplayer.
Cant wait for dec 8th baby, Can't wait to dive into Halo single player and after that jump right into the multiplayer.. December looking like a great month..
@FatalBubbles If a single word of that is true, then even if Halo Infinite is the best Halo ever, it would be completely unjustifiable to buy it and reward that kind of work environment.
@Richnj Well we don’t know if it’s true or not. Just concerning to see that write up and the lack of campaign being shown. Makes you wonder if it’s true.
Eh. I'm not going to buy it either way. Because Game Pass.
Utterly speachless...
After the hoard of negative naysayers that swamped the forums during its first gameplay of campaign it's wise to hold off showing anything, because the internet being the internet, will only pull down It's pants and crap on whatever they show. Best let people just play and find out seeing as it's one gamepass. I'm happy to have a release date. December promises Halo and Gunk so far, both look like classic Xbox titles to me
@BrilliantBill It’s certainly possible it’s some random person making up stuff to make people scared Halo will be bad but the reveal last year, cutting of Co-op and forge and lack of any campaign gameplay doesn’t make me feel warm and fuzzy.
I hope they aren’t forced to release on that day. If the game isn’t ready, don’t release it in the same state that cyberpunk 2077 released in. Halo doesn’t need any more bad press. It might get some backlash for being delayed again, but I don’t think it would be nearly the same amount as it would get if it were released with a ton of bugs.
