Halo Infinite, Microsoft’s flagship name for the Xbox Series X release, was postponed until next year.

Look, after the deadline for Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, nothing can hurt me. But that doesn’t mean Halo enthusiasts around the world are disappointed that they don’t have another Millennium Harvest to spend this holiday season.
Microsoft made the announcement on Twitter, Halo’s official account.
“We made the difficult resolution of moving our launch in 2021 so that the team has enough time to deliver a Halo wonder that fulfills our vision,” wrote Chris Lee, studio director at 343 Industries.
“The resolution of replacing our edition is the result of multiple points that have contributed to the progression challenges, adding the continuous effects of COVID that all of us this year. I would like to praise the harsh paintings of our team at 343 Industries, which is committed to creating a wonderful game and finding answers to the progression challenges. However, it is not sustainable for the well-being of our team or for the overall good fortune of the game to send it on this holiday … The extra time will allow us to complete the critical paintings needed to deliver the ultimate ambitious Halo game ever created with the quality we know our enthusiasts expect.
Halo Infinite is the third original 3four3 Halo game. Halo four and Halo five have let many fans down for a lifetime. As a result, the good luck of Halo Infinite a lot.
But when Microsoft first brought a full game last month, the game’s graphics were mocked and memorized on the Internet. Halo Infinite just didn’t look like what enthusiasts expected from a next-generation Halo game.
In part, that’s because Halo Infinite isn’t a next-generation Halo game. Microsoft has committed to launching first-party titles on the upcoming Series X and the aging Xbox One. Halo Infinite has the unenviable task of running on this-gen hardware while looking like a next-gen game.
Let’s hope that with the extra time, 343 can offer a game that looks like an evolutionary leap. And I hope you can also improve your physical and intellectual fitness in the process.

This Twitter feed shows the progression of the standalone puzzle game Mixolumia. It’s a brilliant concept and you may only be informed of one or two things.
“I don’t know what it is, but I had a concept,” Dave Hoffman, also known as davemakes, wrote on Twitter. Turns out “this” is a wonderful concept for a puzzle game.
The tweet was dated January 29, 2019 and marked the progression of what would become Mixolumia.
– davemakes ? ✨ mixolumia (@davemakes) January 29, 2019
It turns out to be such an undeniable idea, and it’s a wonder no one’s ever had any idea about it before.
It’s not uncommon for developers to tweet the first concepts to see if they generate interest, just take a look at this 2014 bugnax tweet, but the appeal is that Hoffman has continued to paint this game snippet, from prototype to final release. Fix everything on this Twitter feed.
This means that each and every time they encountered a challenge, or had a small breakthrough, or just made a small adjustment, they entered the thread. It also meant that they had to ask their subscribers questions and design participatory resources for the game that would eventually be Mixolumia. Like what happens when you get to a corner, for example, a challenge that wouldn’t happen in a classic vertical grid:
Which, a few days later, is more subtle in this:

It is attractive to hint at the public progression of an independent game. Twitter can be a lot of terrible, terrible things, smart things, but this kind of instant information? You’d find it hard to get it any other way. However, all of those are gifs of laughter and eye-catching effects:
– ✨ ? ? davemakes (@davemakes) February 13, 2019
From there, you can see the addition of a Patreon demo, which gave a special touch to progression, and the addition of a scoring system, a break and menu of options, music via Hoffman and Josie Brechner, color palette options, particle effects, etc. More. Accessibility features and game modes are even covered, plus a relaxing mode.
And now, a year and a part later, Mixolumia is now available to purchase in the standalone program Itch.io. It offers a 10% cast reduction for a limited time and will only charge you $9. It’s a smart deal, of course, but understanding the procedure through the Twitter feed is priceless.

You may need to refer to the fine print of Control’s “next generation free upgrade” offer.

You might want to check the fine print on Control’s “free next-gen upgrade” offer.
Developer Remedy Entertainment and publisher 505 Games today announced Control Ultimate Edition. Unsurprisingly, it includes the core game and its two DLC, The Foundation and AWE, which has not yet been released, on the theme of Alan Wake. It also brings the game, in the past, an exclusive of Epic for PC, to the Steam store for the first time.
Therefore, it’s no surprise that Remedy is providing a “next-generation release update” in Control Ultimate Edition. But what about players who have already purchased Control? Oh! Okay. It’s embarrassing. We will move on to the official post on the online page to answer this question:
The “Free Update” is reserved for players who purchase Control Ultimate Edition on PS4 or Xbox One. Anyone who already has the fundamental edition of the game will get the update.
So, in a sense, it’s less of a “next generation loose update” in Control, which deserves to come with players who already own the game, and more than a next-generation reserve. Pre-order a copy of Control Ultimate Edition for PS5 or Xbox Series X and get a loose edition to play on existing generation consoles right now.
Obviously, it’s still not terrible, but it’s a bit of a delicate point for players who have already bought and supported the game.

Here’s the full round-the-box harvest of new versions of this week’s Nintendo Switch eShop.
The Alto collection is our variety of this week’s diversity of new Nintendo eShop games. The collection combines two games of snowboarding (and sand), Alto’s Adventure and Alto’s Odyssey, which have been greeted with wonderful good luck on mobile. Don’t let the smartphone’s roots put you off, those are magical and glorious games to miss.
Faeria, Abrakam’s turn-based virtual card game, also arrives at Switch this week. The game has a well-designed hexadecimal fighting system, over a hundred hours of solo content and a generous amount of cooperative missions.
New versions of Nintendo Switch come with the romantic visual novel Big Dipper, the top-down shooter Zero Strain and the time-bending double lever shooter, The Ambassador: Fractured Timelines.
We will update this page with all the settings of the week. In the meantime, here’s the existing diversity of new nintendo eShop versions.

The Xbox Series X will be elected in November, according to Microsoft, despite Halo Infinite’s delay.
Halo Infinite will no longer be available this holiday season. But, Microsoft insists, the Xbox X Series still is.
In an Xbox Wire post, editor-in-chief Will Tuttle announced that the console would arrive in November. This is as express as Microsoft has tried to approve so far (while still being vague).
“We have a lot to keep you busy until Chief arrives: there will be thousands of games to play, for 4 generations, when the Xbox Series X is presented internationally in November and more than a hundred optimized for Xbox Series X titles, designed to take on the full merit of our highest-strength console, is scheduled for this year,” Tuttle writes.
Now that its biggest game release has been delayed, Microsoft is even more based on the impressive Game Pass catalog. The Xbox Wire release focuses on the vast Xbox library, featuring Game Pass and the richness of Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One games that can be obtained through backward compatibility.
Microsoft no longer has a formula distributor for this fall. We’ll see if it matters.

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, the long-awaited sequel to the cult role-playing game, has been rejected until 2021.

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, the long-awaited sequel to the cult role-playing game, has been rejected until 2021.
There’s nothing like the Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines original, even 16 years after its release. As a young millennium growing in the early 2000s, the game reaches an incredibly expressive nostalgic stress point. Industrial metal. The gloomy landscape of Los Angeles. Wrong fashion. The game takes up much of its time (problem representations of women, other people of color and the mentally ill, unfortunately included) that there was never another game with the same atmosphere.
So, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 has been one of my highest games expected since its introduction in 2019. Unfortunately, developer Hardsuit Labs announced that the wait for a decade and more will last a little longer.
It is credited to Andy Kipling of Hardsuit Labs and Jakob Munthe of Paradox Interactive.
If the game had arrived in 2020, it would have been competing with this fall’s Cyberpunk RPG monster 2077. And that doesn’t even mention the other great games that will take up position this fall. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Watch Dogs Legion, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Infinite Halo and a new Call of Duty to call some. So heist is a smart decision.
However, it is to be expected that the game will reach early 2021. I can’t wait to revel in adventure in this iconic world. Once bitten, right?
