As 343 continues its work on Halo Infinite, the developers seeks to improve how everything looks.

Overall, this should come as good news for fans awaiting the newest Halo game. Not only were the reveal screenshots for Halo Infinite disappointing to some, but the visuals did not match what these viewers were expecting of a powerful next-generation console. Releasing a game with a lot of hype surrounding it in a broken state can be devastating. And it sounds like delaying the title until late 2021 could be the right move for Microsoft.

On the other hand, developers still talking about bug fixes in the months up to release could be a troublesome sign. As one of the most recognizable Microsoft properties, it is concerning the game still needs so much polish. Halo Infinite is going to be the first in the series to feature open world environments, so the stakes are high. Player freedom like this comes with all kinds of potential issues after launch. In any case, Spartans will just have to wait until fall 2021 to find out the final result.

Halo Infinite will launch on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X this fall.
