We face the home stretch of 2021 with three milestones: the Xbox 15th Anniversary event, the Game Awards on December 9, and the launch of Halo Infinite on December 8. Three dates during which the whole community will be aware of every announcement and every move. However, like everything in this lifetime, we might have more of a surprise and this time around it looks like Halo will be the protagonist.
Especially since in the last few hours various clues and leaks have appeared which would suggest that Microsoft would surprise us by bringing the launch of Halo Infinite multiplayer forward to November 15.
Halo Infinite multiplayer launch imminent?
Indeed, if we pay attention to all the clues that we will now detail, those of Redmond would have decided to surprise us and bring forward the launch of the multiplayer part of Halo Infinite, leaving only the campaign for December 8. . A move that could be interesting and would start to publicize the title for December. In addition, we must not forget that this aspect of the game will be free and accessible to all users, without even needing a Gold subscription to play.
But what are these clues? We mainly have three. On the one hand, the source code for Halo Waypoint itself, in which 11-15-2021 now appears as the value date for multiplayer. Additionally, if we search Google for Halo Infinite, we find a two-day countdown that, in effect, ends on the same day of the anniversary event, November 15th. Luck?
Finally, the source code of the Microsoft Store has also changed and now points, again, to the same day in November, placing the launch of multiplayer next Monday.
As we can see, separately it can be loose leads or simple mistakes, but when we already have three options, all different, things get serious. Now you have to keep in mind that in no case is this official and even less means that it will be like that. Because in addition the Microsoft Store has been updated again and, surprisingly, the date is again December 8, 2021.

What can all of this mean in the end? We can't know for sure, but what we do know is that on Monday we will have new information on Halo Infinite. And if that were true, what would launch, let's repeat, would only be the multiplayer aspect, leaving the campaign for December. A perhaps logical move as shown by the two recent technical tests, where it was shown that the various game modes and servers are polished and ready to go.
