It’s been a while since we’ve heard news of Halo Infinite’s other promised modes. While the game’s multiplayer and single-player grapple-hook savvy game modes are great and all, it would be nice to know when its other legacy features like online co-op and the custom game mode Forge will be available.

Fortunately, developer 343 Industries have broken the silence about these two points in a recent roadmap update. Campaign co-op mode now has a late August 2022 release target, which is happening in the middle of Halo Infinite Season 2.

“We know we need to deliver more content and more features more quickly. Staying true to priority zero means that sometimes we need to slow down in order to stay healthy and move faster later. But we’re also aggressively looking at ways to accelerate.”

In other good news, the custom game mode Forge will be in open beta form by this September. Players will be getting the ability to play/make their own custom maps later in 2022.

“We’ve successfully had Forge in private flighting with a limited audience for some time, so we’ve decided to forgo a large-scale formal flighting program and go right to open beta. With this approach, we can get the core Forge tools out to everyone quicker while also remaining focused on our core priority of continuing to improve foundational aspects of Halo Infinite. Forge will persist from the open beta onwards, evolving and growing over time.”

Halo Infinite is out now; if you fancy awesome multiplayer PvP shooting, now’s a good a time as any to jump on board. Especially since Xbox Game Pass/PC Game Pass is available in Malaysia and other Southeast Asian countries that aren’t Singapore.
