To explain the development process of this game mode, 343 Industries has shared an interview with the main head of software engineering for the title, Isaac Bender, and its designer, John Mulkey.

The latter has commented that one of the biggest challenges has been how to establish a shared universe, determine the focus of the mission and ePrevent this from breaking the natural narrative of the title.

“We wanted to give players the option to have co-op progress count towards their ‘main’ game if that’s how they want to play. We also wanted everyone’s progress to count towards their own saves,” Bender said for his part.

Likewise, this director has indicated that the players can benefit from any level unlocks in co-op campaign mode. “If you’re having a hard time collecting a skull, you can play the game with another player and if they pick it up while you’re in that session, you’ll get it too!” he added.

Mulkey, on the other hand, has assured that the gaming experience will be “the same regardless” of the platform on which it is played, since that is an “imperative” requirement to support the cooperative campaign mode.

In order to participate in the preview of the co-op campaign mode, testers will need to be registered in the program Halo Insider, the official program offered by the developer so that players can help shape the franchise titles.

Players will need to either have purchased the game or have access to it via Xbox Game Pass, and those using Steam will receive a unique key via Halo Insider to download this build.
