343 Industries announced today that the season 3 of Halo Infinite has been delayed. The new season will now start in March. However, the developer also reported that the Forge beta will launch on November 8.
Season 3, titled “Echoes Within”, will officially launch on March 7. It will feature new maps and gear, as well as a new 100-tier battle pass. It also has new VIP and Escalation modes, a custom game browser, new storytelling event, and in-game reporting.
The November Forge update also includes two new maps, Detachment and Argyle, as well as the new battle pass and match XP beta. Forge has always been a popular part of Halo, and 343 was originally intended to launch the beta in September.
Despite the setbacks, the two updates seem poised to add many player-requested items to the game. In addition to Forge, Infinite players have been asking for a new way to earn XP since launch, and the new beta in November seems to be addressing that. 343 has unfortunately confirmed that it is no longer working on a local split screen co-op mode.
