Halo: The Master Chief Collection will be releasing 3 days later than the US release in Europe. As you may know from our collection of information on The Master Chief Collection, the game releases exclusively on the Xbox One November 11th, 2014. But, in Europe, the game will release November 14th. This follows the standard release frame of games in Europe, being a Friday.
This was recently questioned, as sources had mixed information from retailers, some claiming a November 11th release, others saying November 14th. But, Bravo, a member of 343 industries, has taken to the internet yet again to answer questions about The Master Chief Collection.
This time, he gave a clear answer on the release date of The Master Chief Collection in Europe. He made a response in a thread on the Team Beyond forums here. He said that “Friday is the typical launch day for the majority of game releases across Europe. The November 14th release date for Halo: The Master Chief Collection is simply aligning to the typical process for retailers in Europe, as are other Xbox first-party releases like Sunset Overdrive and Forza Horizon 2.”
So, what do you guys think? Are our European readers upset about the three day waiting period for The Master Chief Collection? Do you not care about it? Leave your thoughts below. And remember, stay tuned to Gamer Headlines for all of your Halo and gaming news!
