“So we can kind of restart this journey together after the holidays.” <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Microsoft will not show more of Halo Infinite, its delayed flagship Xbox Series X launch title, at December’s Game Awards. <\/p>\n

The annual game announcements broadcast (which also features some awards) is traditionally the last date on the calendar to reveal anything big before the industry shuts up shop for Christmas. <\/p>\n

But 343 Industries is still “going through the huge cascade of implications and ramifications to the release shift,” community director Brian Jarrard wrote on reddit<\/a>. “The team is heads down working through nearly every facet of the game.”<\/p>\n

Taking time away from that to work on a demo for the Game Awards – something which, of course, was never planned for as the game was due to be released already – would only hold up 343’s work further, Jarrard continued. <\/p>\n

“[We] are hoping to offer at least a high level update within the next few weeks so we can kind of restart this journey together after the holidays,” he concluded.<\/p>\n
