Both Call of Duty: Vanguard and Battlefield 2042 have arrived, which leaves only Halo Infinite – perhaps the most anticipated FPS launch of the year.

After several technical flight tests, 343 Industries settled for a December 8 launch. While this is still true for the Campaign, 343 officially launched the first season of Multiplayer November 15.
