343 Industries, developers of Halo Infinite have revealed three new game modes coming to season two of 'Halo Infinite: Lone Wolves.' Classic Halo mode 'King of the Hill' returns alongside two brand new modes: 'Last Spartan Standing' and 'Land Grab.'
Fans of the 2001 version of Halo will enjoy playing the updated 'King of the Hill' mode, where players have to hold a hardpoint (hill) longer than the other team or until the time expires. The 'Lone Wolves' mode is a bit easier, with only one goal: survive. Players will engage in a standard free-for-all match with predetermined loadouts and only five lives.
Finally, 'Land Grab' sees players battle to hold multiple capture zones around the map, with the first team to 11 captures winning. Players will be able to experience two brand new maps called Breaker and Catalyst with the release.
Season two of Halo Infinite will release on May 3, 2022.
