The launch trailer for Halo Infinite’s Season 3 Echoes Within trailer has been released, and gives players a look at what to expect when the season starts on March 7th.

The second new Arena map is Chasm which has quite a lot of open space within its confines, which could mean that you will not be able to hide from other players.

The maps included here are Art’s Room by ArtNoob, Starboard by Pwn Jones, Perilous by Sikamikanico and Whos Blaze,  and Salvation by Black Picture and Infinite Forges.
