Staten says more details will be shared in January.
So does this mean those have been delayed as well? Campaign co-op, after all, was expected to arrive with Season 2, while Forge was supposed to be added with Season 3. Of course, with 343 Industries previously having announced that Halo Infinite won’t have campaign co-op or Forge at launch, there are questions about what this means for their arrival. This will be your first of multiple opportunities to earn Season 1’s samurai-themed armor pieces and other customization items.”
Following this free reward period, the start of our Season 1 opening event, ‘Fracture: Tenrai’, will kick off on November 23. For example, starting today and through the first week, you can log-in to Halo Infinite to unlock a free collection of 20th anniversary themed cosmetics. Indeed, we took this opportunity to add additional events, customization items and other content to Season 1 to make it an even richer experience from start to finish. He wrote: “Importantly, with the Season 1 extension, we aren’t just stretching-out our original Season 1 plan.
Staten says that along with the extension, Season 1 is also being buffed up, which means additional events, content, customization items, and more. “We made the decision to extend Season 1 to give ourselves more time to ensure Season 2 meets our high quality bar and so we can finish development for Season 2 in a healthy and sustainable way for our team.” “When you start playing the beta, you will notice in the Battle Pass UI that Season 1 will last from now until May 2022, which is a change from our original goal of shipping a new Season every three months,” Staten wrote. While 343 Industries had previously announced that each season would last three months, the developer has now chosen to extend the first season by a couple of months in order to give itself more time to finish up work on Season 2.
In a blog update on Halo Waypoint, 343 Industries’ head of creative Joseph Staten announced that Season 1 of the shooter’s multiplayer will now last until May 2022.
Essentially, Halo Infinite’s first multiplayer season, Heroes of Reach, has kicked off early.Īs it turns out though, not only has it kicked off early, it’s also going to last longer than expected. Though currently technically in beta, the free-to-play multiplayer features everything it was supposed to have upon its actual launch, which includes all the modes, maps, cosmetics, and the first Battle Pass. Yesterday, Microsoft shadow dropped Halo Infinite’s multiplayer three weeks before it’s intended launch in celebration of Xbox 20th anniversary, and unsurprisingly, it’s got off to a flying start.
