It appears someone might have accidentally posted the release date for Halo Infinite on the Microsoft Store before an official announcement. The page had a December 8th release date before being changed to a placeholder date of December 31st.
A source familiar with Microsoft's plans has confirmed with The Verge the December 8th date is accurate. The release date will likely be announced later today during Gamescom 2021: Opening Night Live.
Gamescom 2021: Opening Night Live will start on Wednesday, August 25 at 11:00am PT / 2:00 pm ET / 8:00 pm CEST. You can watch it on YouTube and Twitch.
It was confirmed earlier this month Halo Infinite campaign co-op and Forge, the multiplayer editor, won't be ready at launch.
The goal is to release campaign co-op in season two and Forge in season three. The plan for 343 Industries is for a new season to start every three months, which means campaign co-op will be available about three months after launch, while Forge will be playable six months after launch.

Smart. December isn't a big month in releases either. I think the biggest game I've seen so far for that month is Dying Light 2.
