343 Industries announced the forthcoming event on the Halo subreddit. The lack of Slayer playlist generated a lot of friction between 343 Industries and the playerbase, while other issues such as how the multiplayer mode is monetized and the slow rate of player development contributed to the fire. According to the statement issued by 343, this is not the final form of the Slayer playlist, which was due to the number of new variants that aren’t ready, and cannot be done by the end of the year. Instead, this will offer a basic slayer offering to players who want that, and the team will try to expand upon it in the future. The update also includes a series of challenges that should remove the frustration that players have felt while simultaneously introducing new challenges, according to 343.
