343 drops cutscenes from Halo Infinite seasonal content material – WGB, Dwelling of AWESOME Critiques

From Season 4 onwards, Halo Infinite’s season passes will not comprise cutscenes.

The information comes straight from 343 Industries, the present custodians of the Halo franchise. Brian Jarrard, the group supervisor of 343, Tweeted out a message revealing the information, describing it as a trade-off for the staff eager to focus extra on delivering closely requested options and content material.

The sport’s cutscenes have been terrific to this point, however I believe this can be a step in the fitting route for 343. Halo Infinite launched to nice success, however since then 343 have struggled to keep up a gentle stream of content material which has resulted in many individuals abandoning Infinite fully.

It’s one thing 343 themselves have addressed. In an interview on Xbox Wire, 343 admitted that they haven’t been placing out new content material constantly sufficient. It doesn’t appear to be a useful resource drawback, both, as 343 is at present listed as having practically 500 workers and, after all, has the backing of Microsoft’s huge checking account. The corporate did, nonetheless, just lately lose round 60 folks as a part of Microsoft’s greater layoffs.

In January of this yr, former 343 Industries developer Patrick Wren, who now works at Respawn, positioned the failures of Infinite squarely at Microsoft’s ft.

Contemplating Microsoft themselves have admitted to managing the event of Redfall appropriately, both, maybe Patrick is appropriate in his assertion.

Whereas it does suck to see the wonderful cutscenes being dropped from the seasonal content material, maybe it’s going to assist 343 concentrate on dashing up their content material supply. Regardless of the problems, the core gameplay is heaps of enjoyable
