343 Industries did not have time to show new footage from the Halo Infinite campaign at Gamescom.
Although a release date was announced, there were no new footage from the highly anticipated campaign on display this week at Gamescom. This to the disappointment of many fans.Microsoft’s Joseph Staten has clarified in a blog post about the absence of new campaign images. According to him, the development team is now in “shutdown mode”. This means that the main features of the game that will be available at launch are finished, and the main bugs are now being fixed. This would take a lot of time. Publicly releasing new images would therefore have hindered the development of the game.”We are at a critical stage in the development of the game. Halo Infinite, so it’s very important that we don’t have distractions and stay focused on the most important tasks,” Staten said. The rest of the blog post focuses on the multiplayer.On Wednesday it was announced that Halo Infinite will be released on December 8 on Xbox Series X and S , Xbox One and PC. This includes both the single player campaign and the multiplayer mode, which will be free to play. The co-op mode and Forge will not appear until after release.
