In a recent [[Bungie Weekly Update]], it has been stated that the map [[Purple Reign]] has been delayed and  will not feature in the new DLC, but will be replaced by a new map entitled "Moonlight Sonata." This does not, however, mean that the map Purple Reign has been scrapped, only that it will appear in a later set. Moonlight Sonata will likely be available for download on Xbox Live Marketplace in the map pack available Spring 2008.
As hinted by the name, [[Bungie]] has revealed that this map takes places under a nighttime sky.On bungie weekly update 2/15/08 it states "At long last, we tracked down a build of "Moonlight Sonata" that had received some lighting. Sure, there have been builds with this lighting for a while, but us finally uncovering it was this week’s magical moment.  For ages and ages and ages it’s been a black, barely illuminated, series of interconnected platforms, but now a gentle glow warms this otherwise chilly, isolated structure. Steam is ejected into the skybox which resembles the night sky from the opening of Sierra 117, but what’s under that sky is far different than a lush jungle. Far different. Or is it? Yes, actually it is.In this week’s Humpday Challenge we mentioned a map called "Spacecamp" and its aesthetic beauty. Folks saw that and thought we were mentioning a brand new, never-before-talked-about map. We weren’t, the map we called Spacecamp is actually the map we’ve been talking about for a while now: Moonbase Alpha. While there are undoubtedly other maps in production, we didn’t just give away mention of a new one, we’re at least somewhat careful, sometimes. Moonbase Alpha’s lighting, decorators and general aesthetic continues to impress each time a new build pops up on my dev kit. A small garden of Ivy embraces a shrine in memory of the creators of the Shaw Fujikawa warp drive. And there are crates, oh yes, there are handsome crates."
