Prism is an asymmetrical multiplayer arena map that came to Halo Infinite with Season 05: Reckoning.[1][2]

Universe and lore

Prism is set within a Banished Subanese crystal mine on Suban, one of Sanghelios' two natural satellites, in the midst of a battle between Banished forces and the Swords of Sanghelios.[1] The battle in orbit consists of a Banished dreadnought leading several dozen karves and hundreds of Eklon'Dal Workshop Phantoms, versus the Sangheili fleet of Hekar Taa-pattern blockade runners, Zanar-pattern light cruisers, and Mikpramu-pattern Phantoms.

Overview

Layout

Prism is an asymmetrical maps that features a high degree of verticality, including several low and high vantage points.[1][3] Clusters of Subanese crystals can be found around the map. When shot, these crystals explode and send shards after nearby players in a fashion similar to that of many needle-based weapons. If enough of these shards penetrate a target, they will supercombine and explode.[2] The map also features the Pinpoint Needler as a power weapon by default.[1][4]

Production notes

As the design team started to work on Prism, they established the aesthetic before even beginning the blockout of the map. With this particular map, they wanted to lean into an aspect of the lore that had not been visualized before, and that mindset led them to picking a blamite mine as the setting.[1]
