Halo: The Master Chief Collection’s Season 8 update will be released on October 13, Microsoft has announced. Season 8 is called Mythic, and the centerpiece of the update is a series of new warrior-themed cosmetics that are some of the wildest for Halo to date.
“Go medieval,” Microsoft said in the announcement trailer, which features narration by franchise director Frank O’Connor. “From its earliest days, humanity has always fought. Yet amidst the bloodshed, seeds of both destruction and salvation were found,” O’Connor says. “There are those who wonder if warriors will ever disappear from this world. But most already know the answer. For whether it’s throughout our own universe or in the fractured remnants of countless others, there will always be warriors. And there will always be war.”
