Halo Infinite’s campaign co-op test is ‘still targeting this week but it’s day by day’
343 Industries has said it’s still planning to launch a test flight of Halo Infinite’s campaign co-op mode this week, but it’s not guaranteed.
The studio recently confirmed that it was aiming to test campaign co-op and the game’s new Mission Replay feature this week.
In its original Halo Waypoint announcement, the studio said the test flight was “targeted to run from the week of July 11”, seemingly leading some readers to expect it to launch on that date.
This was never the intended messaging, according to Brian Jarrard, community director at 343 Industries.
He tweeted on Monday: “PSA: The team is still working on our upcoming #HaloInfinite network co-op Insider flight build. While we always said our ‘target was the week of July 11’, many sites reported it simply as ‘starting July 11.’ Still hoping for this week, but it will not start today.
“Flighting is fluid as the process entails discovering issues in initial rings and resolving them before expanding to a larger audience,” he continued. “A few issues were discovered in our current flight ring and the team is working to address.
“Apologies to folks who expected the flight today – we’re eager to get this into your hands but we also want to ensure it’s a positive and worthwhile flight experience. Still targeting this week but it’s day by day as work continues. Ty for your patience and understanding.”
