After launch, we expect the season to last at least three months. It could extend depending on the developer’s decision.

Halo Infinite Season 2 Battle Pass

As usual, Halo Infinite Season 2 will come with a new Battle Pass based on the “Lone Wolves” theme. The developer has confirmed that the upcoming free Battle Pass will feature more content including customized elements, weekly challenges, and higher quality items.

They have also mentioned that Ultimate Rewards won’t be wasted on emblems and bundles with higher-value items will be sold in the in-game store. The premium battle pass will allow players a chance to collect 1,000  CR.

Players will also receive a free Fracture armor announcing the “Love Wolves” theme to give players a fresh new take on the Spartan look. There will be 100-tiers consisting of exciting rewards and items.

What’s coming in Halo Infinite Season 2?

Halo Infinite Season 2 will be based on the Lone Wolves theme featuring playlist updates, balance, changes, and a lot of new content including maps, modes, and other items. Before this trailer, the developer shared the first look at Spartan Sigrid Eklund and Spartan Hieu Dinh.

There is also a cinema mode coming which will receive updates to enhance general stability and solve the problems while viewing multiple movies or games. A new multiplayer co-op or forge will also be available, however, it’ll launch with a mid-season update.

Take a look at what’s coming with Halo Infinite Season 2: Lone Wolves here.

Lone Wolves: A Thrilling Story

Halo Infinite Season 2 will feature content based on a seasonal thrilling story following the Lone Wolves theme in the paid multiplayer campaign. You will witness the thrillers in the never-seen-before cinematic manner. Staten has revealed that Lone Wolf Spartans are hunters, trackers, and resourceful improvisers.

They operate deep into the enemy territory without resupply or support requirements. They prefer working alone but still stay loyal to the Spartan pack, like the Wolves.

Brian Jarrard, head of communications of the developer, recently mentioned, “We’re certainly not happy to be unable to meet player and community expectations, it’s a difficult situation that’s going to take the team time to work through.” The team is keenly focused on delivering an incredible new season.

New Maps: Breaker and Catalyst

Two new maps are making their way to Halo Infinite in Season 2. The first one is Breaker, which is a BTB (Big-Team-Battle) map set in scorching desert-themed surroundings. It is perfect to have fascinating battles with the right tactics.

The second one of Catalyst, which is a much smaller map set within an abandoned lab-like building. It is more suitable for intense fights. You can see the first glimpses of the two maps in the Halo Infinite Season 2 trailer above.

Two New Modes & the Return of King of the Hill

Halo Infinite Season 2 will also add three new game modes which include the return of the iconic King of the Hill. The first new mode is “Last Spartan Standing” which is a free-for-all elimination mode (sort of a battle royale set in the Halo universe).

The second one is “Land Grab” which feels like a combination of Territories and King of the Hill where players have to battle to conquer five plots of land scattered across the map. You can’t recapture these plots after losing them once.

The third one is the returning “King of the Hill” with updates allowing it to be playable in Matchmaking and Customs. The goal of this mode is to hold the hill for the longest time alongside your teammates.

The speculated new multiplayer co-op mode won’t be coming at the start of the season. Instead, it’ll arrive via a mid-season patch. The new Catalyst Arena map and Attrition are also going into Quick Play with Season second.

More details about the upcoming Halo Infinite Season 2 will be available as we near the release date, and the developer releases more trailers. We’ll keep you updated with them. Meanwhile, comment down to let us know what are you expecting from the upcoming season.
