Halo developer 343 Industries has announced that Halo: MCC Season 8, dubbed "Mythic," is slated to launch on Oct. 13, 2021. The new season will offer players a chance to earn several armor sets, weapon skins, and vehicle skins for Halo 3 that are inspired by history, mythology, and fantasy, and a new Halo 3 map called Icebox is also being added as well. Lastly, Halo 3: ODST Firefight is getting some improvements and additional options for fighting Elites and the Flood.

According to a previous statement from the developers, Season 8 will be the final content season for Halo: MCC since Halo Infinite is launching on Dec. 8. 343 Industries has confirmed that the game will get content and maintenance updates in the future, but that they will come on a "ready when it's ready" basis.

Overall, the final MCC season also seems like it's going to be one of its best. And while Halo: MCC won't have seasonal updates anymore moving forward, it's still a good idea to sign up for the Halo Insider Program. Not only will you be able to potentially help 343 Industries test new additions to the MCC in the future, but you'll also have a chance to play the Halo Infinite beta as well. Halo Infinite could end up being one of the best Xbox shooters, so we recommend signing up so you can give it a shot.
