Hey there, forgers! Portaleer reporting.
15 years ago, in 2007, ForgeHub burst onto the scene with the advent of Forge in Halo 3; the final piece of the Halo experience. What began as a mere level editor for soft modifications to map layouts and custom gametypes, has now flourished into nearly a full-blown curated and gift-wrapped developer toolkit. Halo fans have the capacity to realize their own talent and creativity for the Halo universe- with almost infinite possibilities- save for the limit of one’s own imagination. We’re not only celebrating the release of Halo Infinite Forge this past week, we’re also celebrating ForgeHub as well. From a small community startup, to attending events on the competitive multiplayer scene, to other newfound partnerships, ForgeHub has seen incredible growth and evolution alongside our beloved franchise that we so passionately share in.
Some of you have been with us since ForgeHub’s inception, following each new iteration of Forge and changes to our community and website over the years. Alongside this revolutionary new Forge, we’re also excited to announce our next evolution of ForgeHub as well, bringing a much needed facelift and new updates to the site. We have our own internal development team dedicated to continuously adding and improving upon the new platform, and while we did hit a few development snags along the way, we’re still maintaining the core functionality ForgeHub is known for– both from a content standpoint and user functionality. All of it has been refined- and more!
With that being said, like Forge itself, we’ve decided to release in beta so that we can make necessary adjustments to the user experience as needed, but to also showcase the many new features we plan to release with it. Very soon.
While Halo Infinite has had a bit of a sleepy start in its first year from a content perspective, we’ve finally reached this long-anticipated point where so much potential energy can finally convert to kinetic. ForgeHub is seeing an influx of new content creators and interest the likes of which it has never seen before, and much like Halo Infinite itself, we’re just getting started.
I hope you’re as excited as we are for the new goodies coming your way that will enhance your Forge experience with us.
As always- enjoy, and forge on! Portaleer out!
