certain features of the game

As you can see above, the December 8, 2021 date isn't just some wild guess. It comes from the European Microsoft storage page. What and who leads credence to this leak is Tom Warren, a known Microsoft insider who replied to the tweet and corroborated the said date.

What is interesting is that Microsoft hasn't updated the US and UK Microsoft Storage page listings of Halo Infinite. You can still see the December 31, 2021 placeholder dates there, which haven't changed since Halo Infinite was postponed last year.

With that said, the leaker did mention that the update to the listing was applied only a few hours ago. This suggests that Microsoft and 343 Industries are just sitting on a big Halo Infinite announcement (now

since confirmed

). The game was notably absent at the August 24 Xbox Gamescom 2021 showcase. One reason for this could be that Microsoft is preparing to drop a big announcement about

Halo Infinite

at Geoff Keighley's Opening Night Live event.

Here's to hoping that this is indeed the case. After a year-long delay (and longer for the campaign co-op as well as the Forge map-building mode), Halo fans are due for some good news.
