So, when can we actually expect it to come out?
Halo Infinite Season 5 Release Date: What Can We Expect?
Halo Infinite Season 4, Infection, went live recently on June 20th, 2023. Players are still getting up to speed with this latest season, and quite naturally, the developers haven’t given any information on when the next season will be released as of yet. However, we can predict its release date by analyzing the previous season’s release patterns.
Release Patterns
The first season of Halo Infinite, Heroes of Reach, went live on November 15th, 2021 (along with the game’s multiplayer beta release) and lasted until May 3rd, 2022. Following this, Season 2: Lone Wolves came out on May 3rd, 2022, and had a run of almost 6 months, until November 2022. A winter update was released by the developers on November 8th, 2022, which served as a buffer between Season 2 and Season 3. After about 5 months, the third season, named Echoes Within, was released on March 7th, 2023. And, lastly, the fourth season was released by the developers on June 20, putting an end to Season 3.
Season 5 Release Date (Speculation)
If we consider the winter update to be a buffer point between Seasons 2 and 3, then all the major updates are being released within an interval of 5–6 months. Season 3, however, is an exception, having a running period of only 4 months. Going by this pattern, the release date of Season 5 for Halo Infinite is expected to be in October 2023, maybe within the second or third week of the month.
However, note that this is only speculation and there’s nothing concrete from the developers’ end. Thus, we urge you to take this information with a pinch of salt.
