The good guys over at 343i decided to not wait until Friday to announce the next Halo 5 Content Update: Anvil’s Legacy dropping September 8th!
The new update will see two brand new maps set on the Elite homeworld of Sanghelios:
- Mercy, an Arena map - And Temple, a Warzone Assault mapThe update will also see a brand new but very familiar weapon to the Halo fans now being used by the Spartans; the Hunter Assault Cannon.
As we know from the previous CU, there will be variants of the weapon and one will be an ultra rare!
We will also be getting brand new armor skins for much of the Noble Team armor, as well as brand new weapon skins from the fancy Landgrave to the -Yoink!- neon Magnum!
We’ll also be getting the Gunfighter Magnum which is a "Quick draw Magnum with fast-reload magazines. Iron sights only, no Smart-Link module is attached." as well as what looks like the ODST magnum from, well, ODST.
And finally, the big news. Forge on Windows 10 releases for free. Excluding campaign, Warzone, and matchmaking capabilities, Forge on W10 will offer everything Halo 5 has for free and you can play with friends in custom games!
We’ll also be seeing the release of the Content Browser and the ability to save groups and release them to the public for others to use in their maps as Prefabs!
