What to expect from Halo Infinite Winter Update? Ranked matchmaking, Forge, free Battle Pass, and more
Halo Infinite’s much awaited Winter Update will launch later this month for both Xbox and PC platforms.
The latest entry in the video game series from Microsoft, Halo Infinite had a bit of a rocky launch, followed by lackluster updates. Coupled with the recent cancelation of the initially promised co-op split-screen mode, fans were devastated at the state of the game.
Many questioned the future of the title and series itself, and it seems like developer 343 Industries is finally here to put all doubts to rest.
The Winter Update for Halo Infinite will be released simultaneously on all supported platforms on November 8, and will be the biggest for the title till date.
The update will brings features that were initially promised at launch, such as campaign co-op and Forge. The full details are listed below:
Two additional maps are scheduled to be added with the Winter Update - Argyle and Detachment, both built entirely in Forge mode.
Argyle is a small, tight arena set in a UNSC Vessel. Meanwhile, Detachment is set in a less claustrophobic environment near an abandoned UNSC research facility.
Both maps will offer two very unique combat experiences.
As with previous games, the Forge mode will allow players to create and customize their own multiplayer maps, which can then be played online by other gamers.
Halo Infinite’s Forge mode is will reportedly be a vast improvement upon Halo 5's iteration, and is set to feature more accuracy and freedom.
A new mode will be added to the game with the Winter Update. Covert One Flag is detailed to be a slightly tweaked One Flag CTF mode, and will be round-based. Teams will swap between attackers and defenders to capture the singular flag. The side with the most captures will be declared the winner.
