Halo Infinite Season 2: release date, Battle Pass, and everything you need to know

Halo Infinite Season 2 is heading our way next month, and we're eager to see what kind of changes 343 will be rolling out.

Thanks to the soaring success of Fortnite, all of your favorite shooters are embracing the live service format and Microsoft's long-running series is no different.

Halo Infinite Season 2 is all set to start on Tuesday, May 3, 2022. The official name and theme for the season have already been revealed as 'Lone Wolves'. 

Season 1 wraps up on Monday, May 2 after a lengthy six-month run, but we don't anticipate Season 2 to be that long. A more probable duration is around two to three months.

343 Industries has addressed Halo Infinite Season 1's shortcomings in its March update(opens in new tab), as well as reassessing Battle Pass progression which was causing some frustration in terms of XP being earned. 

Hopefully, this means we'll see a more polished and refined
