Brain Jarrad, Community Director for Halo Infinite, said on Twitter that he hoped fans would “push our services and infrastructure so things will fall down during the preview instead of in December”.

The poster, who claimed to have worked at the studio for “the better part of 2 years” on Campaign components, explained in great detail the current situation at the studio.
In the meantime, here’s everything we know about Halo Infinite including gameplay, release date, and more.
