As successful as launching a rocket can be, launching a game can be complicated and lead to nasty chain reactions. Coincidence or coincidence, the Halo Infinite has just suffered new damage.
The horizon for Master Chief’s sixth adventure seemed to be brightening: after a calendar year postponement, the game, which will not be the launch game of the Xbox Series X | S, took advantage of the favorable winds to surprisingly open the beta. from multiplayer to all the potential Spartans, and everything seemed to be back to normal for Infinite Halo at last. 43 Industries even announced the arrival of the first Fracture Tenrai event for the next few days.
It really wasn’t his war
But just as our House of Spartan was finally able to give you its calm impressions of the Halo Infinite Solo, the developers announced a new shift: that of the cooperative mode of the main campaign. This summer, the co-op and blacksmith modes have already been postponed and were expected for the start of season 2 and season 3 later.
Unfortunately for the players, the recent postponement of the said season 2 to May 2022 postpones the start of the co-op mode by as much as the creative director Joseph Staten has just officially done with our colleagues fromEurogamer
Back then When we talked about the Co-op and Blacksmith modes, I had said that our goal was to start the first with Season 2 and the second with Season 3. We decided to extend Season 1, so our goal remains the same.
This is one goal we hope to achieve: we cannot set fixed dates at this time as, as we saw with the multiplayer beta, other elements may take precedence.
“Ready when you are”
So you will understand: the arrival of a co-op playable campaign in May 2022 is no longer even certain, and Staten recalls that considering the recent return has already been largely preoccupying the teams at 343 Industries.. Halo Infinite players could therefore expect new surprises, and not necessarily good ones.
Recall the statements made by the same Joseph Staten last August regarding the titanic site represented by the Master Chief’s new adventures:
We discussed it, but came to the conclusion that Halo Infinite is a “live” game and will never actually be “finished”: it will keep evolving and evolving with each new season.
For those who do not want to go alone to discover its landscape, keep this in mindHalo Infinite will (finally) be available on December 8th for PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series.
