Watch The Halo Infinite Preview For New Map "Illusion" Coming With CU29

The brand new upcoming Halo Infinite map, Illusion, is a love letter to Halo: Combat Evolved according to the devs. It takes place within an abandoned ONI black site where old experiments still remain.

The middle of the shooter's map has an active camouflage effect, turning players who enter it invisible. The map is designed to tell the story of secret experiments conducted by ONI.

"The camo hallway is the central feature, which harkens back to some of that Halo: CE design philosophy," says multiplayer designer Cliff Schuldt. "And the ONI aesthetic, too, is something that feels unique. We have felt the “UNSC fatigue” as well at times, but—like with Cliffhanger in Season 3—there are some really cool new visual and design elements that ONI has which breaks away a bit from the more straightforwardly industrial design of the UNSC. This looks and feels like an abandoned and forgotten black site, the past is buried here."

The new Illusion map in Halo Infinite should play well with CTF, Strongholds, King of the Hill, Extraction, Oddball, and Infection. The map was originally designed with CTF in mind, but they say that Illusion surprised them with how well it played in other game modes.

There are a few easter eggs hidden throughout the map, and the map itself is located under an existing map.
