343 Industries will deliver the remastered port of Halo 3: ODST to the Xbox One's Halo Master Chief Collection on May 29, if a since-removed listing on the Xbox website is anything to go by.

It could all be one huge mistake, but there it was: Halo 3: ODST set to release on May 29 in the US and UK. So in just a couple days, the truth of the matter will be revealed one way or another.

The listing on the Xbox website was spotted by IGN. According to the watchdogs over there, the listing didn't include any information about the title's price -- the game's size was listed at 8.1 GB.

In announcing the remaster of Halo 3: ODST, Bonnie Ross, Head of 343 Industries acknowledge the Master Chief Collection's matchmaking issues. He also announced that Halo 3: ODST would be offered for free, as a thank you to players of the Master Chief Collection.

"Development has just started on the campaign for Halo 3: ODST, which will be available within Halo: The Master Chief Collection, and upgraded to 1080p resolution, running at 60fps," Ross stated. "It will be available for free to anyone who has played Halo: The Master Chief Collection since launch (11.11.14) through today (12.19.14)."

Last month, while sharing patch notes on a Master Chief Collection update, 343 Industries mentioned that Halo 3: ODST's development was on track. Back then the studio said it planned to release the game in the following month, which, considering May's current shortage of days and yanked listing on the Xbox website, there's a good deal of weight behind the Halo 3: ODST remaster's May 29 launch date.

"Additionally, we're excited about the progress of the Relic multiplayer map remake and the Campaign for Halo 3: ODST, both of which are on track to release within Halo: The Master Chief Collection next month with our next content update," stated 343 Industries in a blog post last month. "Look for more details next month, including the final map name for the Relic remake, release date and more."

Besides the yanked listing, we've been a bit short on those details about Halo 3: ODST. But while awaiting Halo 3: ODST's arrival in the Master Chief Collection, check out this video of Master Chief spawning into a bedroom filled with COD players:
