Finally a release date for Halo Infinite?
Multiplayer games: For many multiplayer fans, the upcoming shooter Halo Infinite is of great interest. A few weeks ago, the developer 343 Industries conducted a tech preview, and a beta test is also planned before the release.
However, Halo Infinite still does not have a fixed release date. The game is supposed to be released in 2021, and the release window is getting tight. In addition, Halo Infinite has already been delayed to give developers more time for improvements and polish. Fans hope that the release will be officially announced soon, and the gamescom stream is a good opportunity for that. Therefore, hope for a release date is not unfounded.
Also, Forza Horizon 5, which has already impressed at the E3 with its stunning graphics, will be part of the Xbox event. Racing game fans can look forward to new information.
Dying Light 2, the survival horror game with coop elements, has also announced its presence at the Xbox event this evening. In a tweet from August 24, the official Twitter account of the game announced that there will be a little surprise in the Xbox stream.
This will not happen: In a tweet, Aaron Greenberg also announced that there will be no new reveals. So you shouldn’t hope that Microsoft will announce completely new games for their platforms. He further tempered fans’ expectations, stating that they should not expect massive surprises.
What are your expectations for the Xbox stream this evening? Let us know in the comments.
