Update: This event is now live and will run from January 18th until February 1st - it adds in the new slayer mode, Attrition - where lives are shared across your team.
"Each team has a limited number of lives—revive your teammates when they fall and work together to deplete the enemy’s lifepool to finish them off. Last team standing wins! It’s classic, competitive 4v4 action with a unique spin on how you operate as a team."
And here's the event track - there's 10 all up to unlock:
Anyone who participates in the event will also receive a 'New Heights' backdrop for their Spartan ID:
Original story [Sat 15th Jan, 2022 03:30 GMT]: There's a new free event coming to Halo Infinite multiplayer next week called 'Cyber Showdown'. It kicks off on 18th January, but nothing else has been officially revealed about it just yet.
While 343 hasn't shared much, dataminers appear to have already uncovered what will be on offer, and players will once again have to complete key challenges in order to unlock these items.
The event is expected to run up until January 31st, which will then be followed by the Fracture: Tenrai event. So you should have enough time to unlock the Cyber Showdown rewards.

Damn, it feels like they ran out of ideas for content already. I'm new to Halo and find the lore fascinating, so these out-of-place / very f2p-esque cosmetics are really cheapening the look and feel of the game, IMHO.
Finished the battlepass last night so more events sound good to me!
@stinkyx I'm pretty sure it's more that the traditional cosmetics are being drip fed so there can be traditional cosmetics for future battle passes especially taking into account Infinite's supposedly lasting for 10 years. So like the vast majority of traditional cosmetics in Season 1 being Reach themed and then Season 2 moves onto something else (e.g. Halo 3) with its battle pass having traditional cosmetics.
The crazy cosmetics basically keep a consistent amount of content added while still being able to maintain battle passes being more traditional cosmetics for the full 10 year length of Infinite.
First cat ears, now a neon mohawk. I'm surprised they don't have an actual halo ring. Maybe that's next season....
@stinkyx I for one am a huge sucker for synthwave aesthetics, sucks that some dont like it but I love it
The new game mode actually sounds really fun!
Attrition is a very fun mode though I do wonder if it's preparation for a Battle Royale.
