Halo Infinite names ten Forge Contest finalists for the Halo Fest showcase playlist
Ten original 4v4 arena maps have advanced to the finals of the $10,000 Halo Fest Forge Contest. Created in partnership with ForgeHub, the maps draw on classic Halo multiplayer and campaign environments without directly remaking them; the winner is scheduled to be revealed next month at Halo Fest.

Ten maps advance to the finals
The finalists are Abundance, Bits and Pieces, Cascade, Eulogy, Hierarch, Sanctum, Shade’s Promise, Sluff, Sojourn, and Unconveyed. These are the ten maps set to be associated with the Halo Fest showcase playlist for Halo Infinite.
The contest’s aim was to reinterpret recognizable parts of Halo through new arena layouts rather than reproduce existing levels. Entrants were asked to retain the spirit of classic multiplayer and campaign spaces while introducing modern gameplay ideas and distinct experiences.
The winner comes next month
HaloFest will host the next result: the winning Forge Contest map is scheduled to be revealed next month. The announcement does not identify that map in advance.
