Staten says the delay is a result of the complexities involved with game development, particularly with campaign co-op. Staten clarified that a new season will ship every three months, meaning campaign co-op will not be released until 2022, most likely (if assuming the holiday season begins in November). While Halo Infinite will launch with the single-player mode and season 1 of multiplayer, Staten says the team is aiming to release campaign co-op in season 2 and Forge in season 3. Staten confirmed that the team is taking a seasonal release schedule for the campaign co-op and Forge. And we also made the tough call to delay shipping Forge past launch as well," Staten said during the video update.


"Unfortunately, as we focused the team for shut down, and really focused on a quality experience for launch, we made the really tough decision to delay shipping campaign co-op for launch. Forge is where some of the most creative player-generated modes have come from, some of which have gone on to become official Halo online modes. Meanwhile, Forge is a unique experience where players can design their own game modes by creating custom maps, rules, and more. Campaign Co-Op has been a fixture of the Halo franchise, being able to play through the single-player campaign with a friend.
