In the spirit of the Holiday season, how about some early presents for Halo Infinite<\/em>?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On the heels of the Winter Update, which launched just last month, we’re tremendously excited to deliver our latest game update for Halo Infinite<\/em> which brings with it some brand new features and a variety of key improvements to the game experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The team has been working hard on addressing player feedback, and so\u2014before we break for the Holidays\u2014we’re bringing you a new (yet familiar) map, free armor cores and coatings, some quality-of-life improvements, and<\/em> the early release of the Custom Games Browser\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The latest update is available now, for free, on Xbox and PC. So, let’s talk a little bit more about what’s just arrived!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

CUSTOM GAME BROWSER<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

Since the release of the Forge Beta with the Winter Update, just a month ago, the floodgates have well and truly opened to a barrage of incredible community-created maps and modes. For a look at some of our favorites, be sure to check out our Forge Features blog series.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Of course, in order to unlock the true potential of Forge and make these wonderfully unique experiences (which have long been such a definitive aspect of halo<\/em>) more accessible to everyone, we’re excited to announce that we’re debuting the V1 of the Custom Game Browser today<\/strong>\u2014months ahead of our original target!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\n

Previously scheduled to release in Season 3, we fully agree with players who felt that the Custom Game Browser should be a priority\u2014it’s a key support structure for what players create in Forge and a pillar for the community.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The team worked incredibly hard to land this feature so much further in advance, but with that comes the caveat that this is a \u201cV1.\u201d It is therefore likely to have some rough edges, but we felt it was more important that we get this in the hands of players sooner rather than later. The CGB will, of course, continue to evolve with support over time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For more information, including instructions on how the CGB works, please refer to this article on the Halo Support site.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

ENTER EMPYREAN<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

The Pit has come to Halo Infinite<\/em>!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This beloved map from Halo 3<\/em> has been officially rebuilt in Forge by the 343 Industries team and is now reborn as Empyrean.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"Screenshot<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Empyrean is a reimagining of The Pit, complete with some refreshed aesthetics over its familiar layout, and no expense spared on attention to detail.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For those of you familiar with The Pit (or even its Halo 4<\/em> incarnation, Pitfall), you already know the dance. The immediate rush to grab the rocket launcher, the sniper duels atop its two opposing towers, the potential close-quarters perils of the control room\u2014but this time, there are some new notes to be added to this symphony as it comes with the additional layer of Halo Infinite<\/em>‘s gameplay and sandbox features.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How do Halo Infinite<\/em>‘s toys, like its limited-use Equipment, alter some of those dynamics and affect how you traverse the combat dance floor? Maybe the enemy team managed to grab the rockets first, but you went and acquired the Repulsor to protect yourself (and hopefully your teammates as well). We can’t wait to see what new memories are forged in this proving ground!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Empyrean is available now in Matchmaking and Custom Games.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

COMPLIMENTARY COSMETICS<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n
\"Halo<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Over the last year, we’ve received a lot of feedback around Halo Infinite<\/em>‘s armor customization, and we are keenly aware that players\u2014both new and returning\u2014may have missed out on some unique content from over the course of Seasons 1 and 2.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We want to ensure that all<\/em> players have a suite of customization options open to them from the get-go, and as a result of that feedback we are hoping that this update opens a number of those doors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
