Fans eagerly waiting to experience Halo Infinite's campaign with friends will have to wait a little longer, with both online and split-screen campaign co-op having been delayed once more. Co-op was expected to arrive in Halo Infinite with the game's second multiplayer season on May 3.

The news comes via a new Halo Infinite development update, where developer 343 Industries has broken down current high-priority issues affecting the game, what fans can expect in Season 2, and updates on co-op and Forge.

Halo Infinite head of creative Joseph Staten writes in the blog post that the "non-linear, wide-open sections of the Campaign present some big challenges" for split-screen co-op, and that while great progress has been made on online co-op, "the reality is that it's going to take more time to land a high-quality, full-featured 4-player network co-op experience in the massive, wide-open world of Halo Infinite."
