According to 343 Industries, the game’s developer, Halo Infinite is getting a fresh batch of new content with new updates taking place from May 2022 on Xbox and PC.

A new blog post on the website Halo Waypoint breaks down what players can expect to be included in Season 2. There’s going to be more multiplayer content but fans are also eagerly awaiting news of a co-op mode being added to the game’s campaign.

The update from the developer focuses primarily on the next season, titled “Lone Wolves” which will be running from 3 May until 7 November 2022, with an estimation of when other requested features will be added during that time. Not only this, but two new maps and a new 100-tier battle pass will be included as well.

“Forge mode” is also making a return as an open beta which will allow players to customise their own maps, a feature that was seen in previous Halo titles.

‘Halo Infinite’ season two roadmap details

Two new maps have already been revealed for different game modes which will be playable alongside the existing roster: Catalyst will be playable in “Arena mode” and Breaker will be available to play in “big team battle”, the large 12 vs 12 skirmishes.

Three new modes are also being added to Halo Infinite’s multiplayer: King of the Hill, Land Grab, and Last Spartan Standing, for more game variations.

Network co-op for the campaign mode has been given a release window of August 2022 and the Forge mode open beta has been scheduled for September 2022. Both dates have been given as “targets” meaning that they could be subject to change during development.

There’s also a new Fracture mode, “Entrenched”, which will be taking place between 24-30 May. Plus, there’s two new narrative events, “Interference” and “Alpha Pack”, to look forward to, too. The former will be taking place between 3-16 May and the latter is scheduled to take place between 19 July and 1 August 2022.

Halo Infinite’s multiplayer mode is free-to-play andis also available via an Xbox Game Pass subscription. The full game (including the campaign mode) can also be purchased from the Xbox store as a standalone game (£54.99, Xbox.com).
