Halo Waypoint recently brought its latest release that details the new features and content coming to Halo Infinite, calling it the "Content Update 29" (CU29), centering on new in-game content, items, and more to see. In this release, Halo Infinite is starting with its latest experience for all called the Operation: Spirit of Fire which brings a free Mark IV Armor Core for free, available upon login.
Under Spirit of Fire, other items are available to unlock under the free pass, with two additional premium options to purchase that add more items. In the free pass alone, there are 20 tiers available to unlock.
Moreover, the new map called Illusion is now available to access, and it is placed on the abandoned ONI black site, based on Halo: Combat Evolved's map design.
Halo Infinite is also capitalizing on its series adaptation by bringing in new items from the show to the game. The Silver Team's Helmets are available to unlock in-game after completing certain challenges.
Halo Infinite: No More Seasonal Updates, Drops for Game
This update also marks the change in Halo Infinite's drops for future versions of the game, as 343 Industries is set to move away from Seasonal updates and drops for the game. This means that Halo Infinite's updates will be available whenever the team deems it to be, and not follow a specific timeline for each season for new content.
Halo Infinite and the Renowned Franchise
Three years ago, Halo Infinite launched to the world, but its release was plagued with several issues and bugs which gave players a hard time in fully enjoying what it has to offer.
Despite issues and the absence of the highly-awaited co-op campaign mode that will allow gamers to join or invite friends to complete a task, Halo Infinite was rated almost perfect by its fans.
The hype for Halo did not die down amidst its troublesome release because of the series adaptation of the video game to Paramount+, bringing more excitement to both forms of media.
After around three years of Halo Infinite, it is moving away from its Seasonal content drops and updates which would now focus on smaller updates that have no specific timelines for developers and gamers. In this latest drop for Halo Infinite, gamers may get to enjoy the new map called Illusion, as inspired by Combat Evolved, alongside the series' character helmets in-game, and the issues it resolved for all.
