Last Spartan Standing is Halo Infinite's tiny battle royale mode

Season 2 is also adding King of the Hill and Land Grab.

There are less than two weeks left until Season 2 of Halo Infinite drops, and even more content is coming than everyone initially thought.

On Thursday, 343 Industries announced via Halo Waypoint that three more modes are coming in Halo Infinite Season 2 — Land Grab, King of the Hill, and Last Spartan Standing. Land Grab involves teams capturing neutral zones on the map (territories, for you old-school fans), while King of the Hill is a tried-and-true series staple where you control rotating capture points. Anyone who sunk many hours into the original Halo trilogy will be familiar with the latter.

Last Spartan Standing is something new to Halo, though. 12 players spawn on one of the larger maps for an ever-constricting free-for-all. Each person has five respawns, and weapon upgrades are available after killing an enemy combatant. It’s more or less a tiny battle royale mode, sort of like Apex Legends or Call of Duty: Warzone.

There’s also a new trailer for Halo Infinite Season 2 for your viewing pleasure below.

It doesn’t look like Last Spartan Standing is the rumored Halo Infinite battle royale mode that Certain Affinity is allegedly working on. Curiously, the Halo Waypoint blog update mentioned above does not once use the words “battle royale” while describing Last Spartan Standing, even though there’s a shrinking circle and everything. That doesn’t necessarily mean anything, but it’s worth noting all the same.
