Previously, Joseph Staten, Head of Creative on Halo Infinite, spoke on the lack of campaign news, most notably at Gamescom 2021, on a recent Inside Infinite blog post:
We’re at a critical phase in the flight that is Halo Infinite, so it’s extremely important to avoid distractions and stay focused on mission-critical tasks only.” Staten wrote. “For Campaign, that means putting maximum effort into ensuring the wide-open, adventure-filled experience. You’ll all get to play on December 8 is as great as it can possibly be. And gameplay demos and trailers not only take a huge amount of effort to do well, they also take cycles away from bugs and other shutdown tasks.”
Halo Infinite’s campaign and multiplayer are separate, standalone products. The multiplayer is free-to-play, while the campaign is full price. Both games offer through Xbox Game Pass. After a lengthy delay, Halo Infinite launches on December 8 for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
