“I desire to acknowledge the effort from out team at 343 Industries, who have stayed committed to making an excellent game and finding options to advancement difficulties,” Lee continued. “However, it is not sustainable for the well-being of our group or the general success of the video game to ship it this vacation.”
Halo Infinite is far from the only title to be affected by its developers working from home due to the coronavirus pandemic. Previous Halo series developer Bungie postponed its upcoming Beyond Light growth for Destiny 2 for the exact same reasons. Earlier this month, League of Legends and Valorant developer Riot Games gave its employees a week off to charge from the needs of working from home. With Infinite delayed, Xbox fans will need to be content playing cross-platform titles like Assassins Creed Valhalla and Destiny 2 on their brand-new next-generation console for the time being.
