Halo Infinite’s first event brings samurai armor and Fiesta mode

Add as a preferred source on Google

Anyone playing Halo Infinite‘s multiplayer can dive into the game’s first free event starting today, Fracture: Tenrai, which comes complete with a 30-level battle pass packed with samurai-themed cosmetics.

The Fracture: Tenrai event runs for the next six days, giving players a short time to work their way through its battle pass. The pass rewards players with cosmetics only, much like the game’s main battle pass, but with samurai flavoring. Suits of armor with layered metal and oni-themed helmets are available for anyone who can reach the pass’ later levels. Halo Infinite‘s in-game shop will also be littered with similarly styled cosmetics this week for anyone who doesn’t mind spending a bit of cash.

Progressing through the Fracture: Tenrai battle pass is nearly identical to progressing through Halo Infinite‘s regular seasonal battle pass. XP for the event battle pass can only be earned by completing special challenges which are denoted by a small red banner on their left side. A majority of these challenges also center around Halo Infinite‘s first new game mode, Fiesta. Returning from previous Halo titles, Fiesta is a chaotic game mode that gives players new, random weapons every time they spawn.

Fracture: Tenrai is the first event of its kind to hit Halo Infinite, and it won’t be the last. More weeklong events are coming to the game, and each will also return periodically. For instance, if players aren’t able to earn everything during the Fracture: Tenrai event this week, they’ll have another chance when it happens again in January 2022.

The iPhone Duo may be the Nintendo DS replacement I didn’t expect
Delta is preparing dedicated support for the iPhone Duo, potentially turning Apple’s new foldable into a surprisingly capable dual-screen retro gaming machine.

Apple’s new iPhone Duo already has plenty going for it as the company’s first foldable, but there may be another reason to get excited about those two screens: Nintendo DS games. Delta, one of the most popular retro game emulators available on iPhone and iPad, is working on dedicated support for Apple’s foldable. The news comes via RetroDodo, which reached out to Delta lead developer Riley Testut about whether the emulator would take advantage of the Duo’s unusual form factor.

Testut confirmed that dedicated iPhone Duo support is already in the works, although he stopped short of giving it a release date. And this feels like much more than Delta adapting to another new iPhone. The Duo’s folding design could finally give Nintendo DS games the kind of dual-screen setup that regular smartphones have always struggled to replicate.
