Empyrean is a multiplayer arena map for Halo Infinite that was added to the game during the Winter Update on December 6, 2022. The map was built entirely in Forge as a remake of the Halo 3 map The Pit.^[2]

Empyrean is set atop a skyscraper on an unknown human colony world.^[1]

This section needs expansion. You can help Halopedia by expanding it.

The following are locations on the map that are so named on the player's heads-up display during gameplay:

Empyrean, while unnamed at this point, was first revealed at the Halo Championship Series World Championship on September 25, 2022. This version of Empyrean was still a work-in-progress and featured much more purple in its color scheme than its final iteration.^[3]
Unlike Argyle and Detachment, which were Forge maps included at the release of the Winter Update on November 8, 2022,^[4] Empyrean was added to matchmaking and custom games with an update on December 6, 2022, along with surprise early release of the Custom Games Browser.^[2]
The word "empyrean" relates to the sky or heaven, particularly the highest part of heaven. This name fits the map given its placement at the top of a skyscraper. Additionally, this name might be a pun, given how its definition is effectively opposite that of the original map it is based on: The Pit.
Empyrean is the first multiplayer map in Halo Infinite matchmaking to feature a Scrap Cannon, with a Scrap Cannon replacing each of the two AIE-486H machine guns found on the original map.^[1]
