Halo: Reach release date announced

24 May 2010

Just a few days after Bungie wrapped up the Halo: Reach beta, the studio has given us an official release date. 

We can now confirm that the game will be released around the world on September 14. 

A whopping 2.7 million people took part in the Reach beta, logging 16 million hours of gameplay, and a combined to total of 1.1 billion kills. 

“It’s exceeded our expectations,” Bungie’s Brian Jarrard commented.

“Our only real perspective going into this was the Halo 3 beta test, which had about 800,000 people. We knew there were a couple million copies of ODST out there, but we really didn’t have any specific information that let us know what the population might be like.”
