Season 5: Anvil is an upcoming season for Halo: The Master Chief Collection, expected to be released on January 27, 2021.[1] 343 Industries intends to release the previously-cut AKIS and Mariner helmets as part of this update,[3] after they were pushed back from Season 4 due to difficulties encountered during development.[4] Additionally, Season 5 sees the introduction of 12 armor sets from the cancelled game Halo Online into Halo 3.[5]

If you prefer a true classic experience, you’ll be able to flip the “New Skins in Halo 3” toggle to “disabled” and you won’t see any new cosmetic items (weapon skins, vehicle skins, or armor) when you’re playing Halo 3. If you decide to turn off cosmetics, any players in your game who are wearing new armor will appear as default Mark VI."
