Remember Halo Infinite? While the newly named Halo Studios are hard at work on something new for Halo, it doesn’t mean work has stopped on supporting the current release. Now, a new trailer for Operation Shadows is here and it’s bringing some cool new things to the game.
Per Halo Studios, “How quickly time flies! Not long ago, the Halo Infinite Summer Update gave us a fight for the Spartan Academy, hallowed legacy maps, the gravity-fueled return of Grifball, and the raw, tactical thrill of S&D Extraction. A new chapter begins next week.The 2025 Fall Update launches on August 5 with the ONI-themed Operation: Shadows.“
What they describe as the ‘first entry’ of the Fall Update for Halo Infinite, “Operation: Shadows will introduce major game updates like a new vehicle, a new weapon, two limited-time playlists, exciting sandbox additions, Forge features, and a Premium Operation Pass loaded with four full armor sets!“
New vehicle you say? Why yes, it’s the return of ‘The Falcon’ a fan favourite that first appeared all the way back in Halo 3. It’s got some new tricks, with a grenade launcher and chaingun for passengers to enjoy, with space for 5 pals (including the pilot).
There’s a new gun too, in the form of the curious looking ‘Vestige Carbine’. Per Halo Studios, it’s a “recently discovered relic from the Covenant’s Third Age of Reclamation, forged for glorious combat once again by the Swords of Sanghelios. This semi-automatic rifle fires green, radioactive projectiles with unwavering accuracy—as dictated by tradition.“
