HALO INFINITE FORGE UPDATE
HALO INFINITE FORGE FULL

It is difficult to compare Forge experiences this way, they are all so different! Every day the team discovers fantastic new creations from the Forge community, and we could not be happier about it. We want to work with the community to best understand what themes they value the most so we can empower them to build the experiences they want to play.Īndy’s room from Toy Story coming out of Forge is one of the cooler things I saw reported way back, have you guys created anything or seen anything come out of testing that rivals that?įor sure Red Nomster’s creations are amazing in many regards and set a remarkably high bar. Longer term we would like to add Flood and Covenant object palettes to Forge but we have not finalised those plans yet.

We are currently working on adding more objects to the Forerunner themed palette and will move on to a full Banished themed object set after that.

We developed Forge with a live-service model in mind and have plans to provide consistent updates and content drops over time. Given it’s in beta, I presume Forge will be seen as a platform to be added to as time goes on? As seasons drop, I guess themed content could be added in for players to tinker with? Longer term we see Forge as being a platform for a variety of experiences, including ones that deviate from our first-person shooter multiplayer roots. We are actively looking into the best way to bring our internal campaign AI into Forge this will be the first step to empowering our players to create experiences that lean more into the single player, co-op, PVE spaces. Could we expect players to develop their own scripted story content, is it that powerful? Historically it’s been maps and game types people can develop inside Forge.

HALO INFINITE FORGE UPDATE

We will continue to update Forge over time with new features, bug fixes, quality of life updates, and content drops. There are countless quality of life updates too, such as the ability to undo actions or to organise objects into folders to better keep track of them. RELATED: Sony And Microsoft Have Signed A Binding Agreement To Keep Call Of Duty On PlayStation The biggest upgrades to Forge this time around include: Some of the things I’ve seen people make so far are crazy, how are some of the ways Forge has evolved since we last saw it? It feels like Forge, at least this version of it, could be a real Dreams moment for Xbox.

That being said, we utilised the additional time leading up to the Winter Update fixing bugs, polishing, testing and making sure we were fully ready for launch. We have been sending preview builds of Forge to our Forge Council members for two years now, so a workable version of Forge has existed for some time, but it was not until mid-summer of this year that Forge was in in a place that we felt could add it to the live product in a meaningful way. Was there any point where you felt like you could have just got it out the door, or has it not been ready to go until now? Of course, we all wanted to get Forge into the hands of our fans as soon as we could, so bundling campaign co-op and mission replay with the Forge toolset felt like a fantastic way to achieve that goal. It was sometime this summer when the teams aligned around exactly what content would be part of the Winter Update. When was it decided that Forge would be a part of the Winter content drop? We got to speak with the lead designer behind Forge, Michael Schorr, about what is undoubtedly the most powerful iteration of Forge yet, what the new version does differently, and what they hope to add in future.

It’s sure to be a wellspring of player expression, as well as an answer to the big question of where Halo Infinite goes from here after being bereft of any meaningful content since launch.

Halo Infinite’s Forge-a familiar concept renewed and refurbished in a lot of ways-feels, to me, like the kind of counterpunch Xbox would be after. It was a practically first of its kind platform for consoles that turned gamers into quasi-developers for a brief moment. When Dreams launched for PlayStation, it really was an incredible time to see the untapped creativity that poured from the minds of players.
