Halo Infinite Is Done With Seasons, Doubling Down On Free Operations Instead

Halo Infinite is done with seasons and won't receive a Season 6. Instead, developer 343 Industries is leaning into shorter, free Operations that will come every 4-6 weeks.343 Industries dove into what players of the free-to-play shooter can expect in the weeks and months ahead in a recent livestream. The answer is a whole lot of Operations, as well as a free update on January 30. That update will add a new Halo Wars-themed Operation, as well as new customization options, and a new map. Halo Infinite community director Brian Jarrard on stream said Operations are what the team is "really leaning into" and a "big part" of the game going forward, confirming at the end of the stream that seasons as fans have come to know them won't be returning. Operations were first introduced during Halo Infinite Season 5, and are in many ways similar to seasons, with the main difference being all of their rewards can be obtained for free for a limited time. Halo Infinite seasons typically lasted 4-6 months, whereas free Operations only last a few weeks. As was the case with seasons, players can purchase a premium version to gain permanent access to each Operation. After the Operation has run its course, it will become available to purchase on the game's store for players who may have missed out on earning its rewards during its limited-time run.Continue Reading at GameSpot...
