Halo Infinite release date is 9 November, says Xbox Brazil [UPDATE]

Wha?

The Halo Infinite release date has been set for 9 November, at least according to a tweet from Xbox Brazil.

“O lendário combate multiplayer de Halo retorna reinventado e evoluindo ao longo do tempo com atualizações sazonais, novos modos e mapas e conteúdo focado na comunidade,” reads a tweet from the localised Twitter account. “Halo Infinite chega em 9 de novembro aos consoles #XboxSeriesS, #XbosSeriesX, Xbox One e PC.”

That translates to “Halo‘s legendary multiplayer combat returns reinvented and evolving over time with seasonal updates, new modes and maps, and community-focused content. Halo Infinite arrives on November 9 to consoles #XboxSeriesS, Xbox One and #XbosSeriesX PC.”

It’s already been pointed out that the release date mentioned is the same as Forza Horizon 5, so is likely a mix-up on Xbox Brazil’s part. We’ve asked Microsoft for clarification and will report back when more is known.

Update: The tweet’s been deleted, so we reckon it was just a mistake on Xbox Brazil’s part. We’ve already put in word with Microsoft.

Update 2: Microsoft confirmed the tweet was a mistaken one.

“Today we confirmed a Holiday 2021 release,” a Microsoft representative told us. “We will share our launch date later this year.”

Microsoft and 343 Industries today showed off a ton of Halo Infinite gameplay, which you can check out here.

The same day as Forza Horizon 5 or not, you can expect Halo Infinite on Windows PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series S & X sometime in the latter half of this year.
