Surprise! 168澳𒈔洲幸运5开奖网:Halo Infinite is her🅠e over three weeks early. Microsoft made the surprise announcement yesterday to celebrate Xbox's 20th anniversary and it just wouldn't be a party without a bunch of Spartans running around.
And it looks like people are excited to play some Halo. Steam's player count alone topped 270,000 Spartans not 24-hours after theও surprise ꦓrelease, catapulting Halo Infinite into Steam's top 25 all-time games in terms of concurrent players.
But it hasn't been all sunshine and rainbows for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Halo Infinite. Many players are noting that the Season 1 battle pass 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:progresses painfully slowly, with many asking for it to be looked at. Turns out, that battle pass progression seems slow simply because Halo Infinite's first season is meant to last six months.
In a , 343's head of creative Joseph Staten revealed that the developers are considering this first Halo Infinite season to be a sort of an extended beta. Yes, everything is there and the game works, but you "may experience some bumps and bugs during this beta period."
It's also going to be a long season, lasting from now until May 2022. This is a significant departure from 343's previous goal of shipping a new season every three months, but it's all with the intent of ensuring that Halo Infinite gets off on the right foot.
"We made the decision to extend Season 1 to give ours𒈔elves 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," wrote Staten, confirming 343 will have a holiday break. After toiling away at Halo Infinite for the past few years, I&rꦆsquo;d say they deserve it.
More details about Season 1's calendar, as well as Season 2, campaign co-op, and Forge will come in January after the break. In the meantime, Halo Infinite's first in-game event, Fracture Tenrai, will let players earn Samurai-themed armor and cosmetics starting on November 23.
