Halo 5‘s next expansion will be called “Ghosts of Meridian,” and 343 Industries has shared details about the early April release – namely, it will contain new weapons, weapon skis, helmets, armor, assassinations, emblems, and vehicles, along with a new Warzone map.
The new map “Skirmish at Darkstar” takes place on the world’s “charred surface” and allows players to “battle it out amidst scattered elements of colonial reclamation.” Below is concept art for the map:
Another goodie revealed was official concept art for the Hannibal Mantis, first seen in a live stream. No further details were given, but it already looks pretty sweet.
