343 Industries Details Halo Infinite’s New Season 2 Maps

Halo Infinite’s second season, Lone Wolves, is slated to begin on May 3 and brings a host of new content to the game. 343 Industries published a blog posting detailing two of the most important additions to its game: Catalyst, and Breaker.

Catalyst is a sleek, though abandoned, Forerunner base that’s been reclaimed by nature. Expect plenty of foliage to cover its monolithic surfaces, and 343 describes Catalyst as a vertical symmetrical arena featuring suspended catwalks and a light bridge connecting the map’s two halves. 

Broken is an abandoned shipyard that’s laden with trash and found on a deserted planet. The map’s central element is the giant plasma cutting beam that moves across it. Players can use this laser to their advantage or peril. 343 describes Breaker as a “pseudo symmetric BTB” map. Catalyst, Breaker and the other multiplayer modes will work together. The video below shows a fly-by of each arena.

The blog of 343 contains a detailed breakdown of the inspirations behind these maps as well as their design elements. Lone Wolves will also introduce new story elements, modes, and cosmetics – 343 plans to spill the beans on those additions in the coming weeks. As a reminder, players have until May 2 to finish Halo Infinite’s Season 1 battle pass before everything gets reset for Season 2.
