“Halo Infinite” players looking forward to playing the game’s campaign co-op will have to wait longer as 343 Industries announced it will not be available at the start of Season 2. But the developer said it is still planning to release it before the third season begins.
A few weeks before “Halo Infinite” launched last December, fans faced the hard truth that some of the fan-favorite features of the game were not ready to be shipped on day one. 343 Industries previously announced the campaign co-op was planned to go live along with Season 2, while Forge will be available in the following season.
That has partly changed over the weekend. In a Halo Waypoint blog post by “Halo Infinite” head of creative Joseph Staten, the developer announced that the campaign co-op will not be released on the first day of Season 2. “The reality is that it’s going to take more time to land a high-quality, full-featured 4-player network co-op experience in the massive, wide-open world of Halo Infinite,” Staten said.
Staten noted that the studio is also working on the co-op’s two-player split-screen, a staple feature of the “Halo” franchise. But developers are also facing “some big challenges” because the campaign has “non-linear, wide-open sections.”
While the “Halo Infinite” campaign co-op is delayed, 343 Industries said fans will not wait for an entire season. The developer said it is currently planned to launch “later” in the season, which could be somewhere between a few weeks to more than two months. Season 2 will go live on May 3.
As for “Halo Infinite” Forge, Staten said they are still aiming to ship it with Season 3, which will likely start in the summer. He also confirmed that the game mode, where players can customize and create maps for custom games, has already entered private flighting for a “small group of community creators.” 343 Industries confirmed it is planning to expand private flights and conduct public tests in the coming months.
For now, “Halo Infinite” fans will have to focus on other upcoming content in Season 2, titled “Lone Wolves.” The next season is confirmed to deliver the new maps “Breaker” for Big Team Battle and “Catalyst” for Arena. New game modes are also in the works, including the “Last Spartan Standing,” which 343 Industries described as “a free-for-all elimination mode.”
