Halo Infinite builds upon November resurgence, brings back ‘The Pit’ while adding fixes and improvements in new update

The Halo Infinite team at 343 is looking to slowly but surely capitalize on some much-needed momentum generated in November by releasing a sizable update to the game today with a large handful of improvements and new features.

Highlighting the Dec. 6 update is the official launch of a new Arena multiplayer map, Empyrean, which serves as the spiritual reboot of the classic Halo 3 map The Pit. The return and revamping of The Pit was originally teased at the end of September during the HCS Orlando Major, built on the soon-to-be-released Forge mode.
