Developers of 343 Industries, which is the studio behind the upcoming release of Halo Infinite, have revealed that another delay for the game was considered at one point. Although the current launch window of the game “Holiday 2021” now seems officially closed, the study has said that was not always the case and that this year talks were held on how to boost Infinity go even further.
News of these delay considerations for Halo Infinite were detailed by 343 Industries in a new development update video for the game. Perhaps the most remarkable thing this video revealed is that Halo Infinite it will not include the campaign co-op or Forge at launch, both major features that have appeared in previous Halo titles. Instead of delaying the game as a whole, however, 343 said it opted to roll back those specifics to later seasons in order to still make the Holiday 2021 launch window.
Talking more about these delays and the reasons why 343 chose not to push Halo Infinite again, the studio’s creative head, Joseph Staten, opened up about the conversations that have taken place in recent months. “Yeah, I mean we were talking about doing [delaying the game]. But where we landed is this Halo Infinite it is a live game, so it is never performed. It will progress and evolve from season to season. We talk about the launch being the beginning of this journey, but to get a start, you need to pick a time and actually start, “Staten said about the reason for delaying specific features instead of the whole game.” All in all, we decided that I have been working on this game for a long time. Our fans have been waiting for this game for a long time. With the solo campaign and our first season of free multiplayer to play in very good condition for the holidays, we no longer wanted to be late. We start and we will continue to evolve from here. “
As already mentioned, Halo Infinite It doesn’t have a release date yet, but we may know more about it later this week when Xbox makes a new live stream near Gamescom 2021. Whenever it launches, it will hit Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC. .
