Recently, the community director of 343 Industries, Brian Jarrard, has debunked a rumor that Halo Infinite’s multiplayer would arrive after the launch of its single-player campaign. The unconfirmed rumor gained momentum on Twitter before Jarrard stepped in with confirmation.
During an edition of the the Microsoft focused gaming show, Sams Report, YouTuber Brad Sams cites from an unnamed source that “multiplayer is not going to be shipping with single-player this fall,” and adds “that we may not be seeing multiplayer yet.” Since posted to YouTube, Brad commented on the video to debunk the news that Halo Infinite would not be launched without multiplayer, according to 343.
During the Xbox Showcase event on July 23, 343 premiered 8-minutes of gameplay of Halo Infinite. Set on May 28, 2560, the trailer offers the first look at Master Chief, a new human companion, and the notable absence of the holographic Cortana.
Last week, Microsoft unveiled Halo 3 on PC as part of Halo: The Master Chief Collection, available through Steam. Halo Infinite is set to release Holiday 2020.
