Summary

343 Industries releases a new trailer for Cyber Showdown 3 inHalo Infinite, a limited time mode that brings with it cyberpunk-inspired gear, cosmetics, as well as new content to check out. The winds of change are blowing forHalo Infinitein 2024, as developer 343 Industries announced a change in how it intends to deliver content. AsHalo Infiniteapproaches its third birthday later this year, players will be seeing more content at faster intervals to hopefully keep players engaged with new content to check out.

The admission came in January during a community livestream as 343 confirmed it is moving away from the paid battle pass system in favor of shorter and smaller content updates. These updates, whichHalo Infinitewill be calling Operations, feature 20-tier free battle passes and last anywhere from 4-6 weeks. However, players can use 500 credits ($5 USD) to unlock the battle pass permanently, allowing them to finish them at their own pace. Under this new system, the third iteration of Cyber Showdown has arrived and for this version, players not only have new content to look forward to, but a few tweaks as well.
