It was recently revealed Season 2 for the multiplayer is still set to start on May 3 and has officially been named "Lone Wolves." Lone Wolf Spartans are described as "hunters" and "trackers."

Season 2 will see playlist updates, balance changes, new modes, and new maps. There are two confirmed maps for Season 2 - the Arena map is called "Catalyst" and the BTB map is called "Breaker." The new modes include a free-for-all elimination mode called "Last Man Standing," a new mode called "Land Grab," and the return of "King of the Hill."

Campaign Co-Op, which was supposed to launch alongside Season 2, has been delayed to later on in the season. An exact release date will be revealed later on. The team is making sure the game works well with 4-player network co-op, as well as 2-player split-screen co-op on all Xbox consoles - the original Xbox One up to the Xbox Series X.
