The Season 3 trailer was released on YouTube and showcased a host of new features coming to the game on March 7. Included in the trailer are three new maps, Oasis, Cliffhanger, and Chasm, as well as the release of the Community Collection Playlist, where players can play maps and modes created by the community. It also features a new piece of equipment, the Shroud Screen, and a new weapon, the M392 Bandit. Season 3 is shaping up to be a huge update forHalo Infinite, with more supposedly on the way in the future. Recent leaks have confirmed the existence ofInfection forHalo Infinite, and while it isn’t featured in this trailer, rumors suggest it’s planned for release during Season 3.
There is one glaring omission from the trailer that many players may have expected to see with Season 3. Not seen in the trailer is thecareer progression system forHalo Infinite,which a developer recently provided an update on. While the feature seemingly won’t make it for Season 3, the long-awaited career progression system is in active development for future addition.
A big feature of the trailer that many may not have expected is the focus on the multiplayer’s story content, which is being expanded upon with each passing season. The effort that has gone into the story content is clear, but for many fans, it could be a source of frustration. One of the most requested features for the game is campaign content, and rumors suggest thatHalo Infinitecanceled plans for new story contentrecently. There are plenty of fans out there who want a continuation of Master Chief’s story, and watching the multiplayer mode receive a strong story treatment instead could be disappointing for some.
Halo Infiniteis available now on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
