Op 11 november verschijnt Halo 2 precies tien jaar. Het is het aangewezen moment om Halo: The Master Chief te gaan spelen. Daar zit de Anniversary-versie van de tweede Halo natuurlijk in. Maar, omdat in Nederland games op andere dagen in de week verschijnen, werd de game doorgeschoven naar de veertiende van November. In veel landen was dit het geval, waarop Microsoft en 343 Industries veel klachten kregen. Nu de game vandaag gold is gegaan (het spel is dus helemaal klaar), brengt 343 het nieuws dat in sommige markten de game toch op de elfde gaat verschijnen. Waaronder Nederland!
One of the questions we get asked most is about worldwide release plans. The reality of worldwide sales and retail processes always makes simultaneous launches challenging. Some fans expressed disappointment in our original planned release date of November 11 in North America and November 14 in several other territories around the world. We heard you loud and clear, and I am happy to announce that Halo: The Master Chief Collection will be released on November 11 for the majority of our fans around world!
There are still a few countries that will see a slight delay due to public holidays. In Europe, Belgium will release on November 12 and France will release on November 14 as part of their typical Friday release schedule. Our fans in Japan will see a release of November 13. Given the social aspects of the experience, we were really happy to get it as close to a simultaneous worldwide release as possible so that we can all celebrate on November 11 and start playing together.
Daarnaast heeft Microsoft vandaag via Twitter ook bevestigd dat de game inderdaad drie dagen eerder gaat verschijnen. België moet nog wel even wat langer wachten.
