The final full game to come to the Steam port of Halo: MCC was Halo 4, which was added last November. Additional Season 8 content includes new player nameplates, new vehicle campaign skins for Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 3, and hidden Campaign Collectibles scattered throughout Halo 3’s single-player campaign - including a golden Halo: Reach Moa sculpture that can be found perched in what appears to be 'Sierra 117.' The assortment of new Halo 3 armor pieces is shown in battle within the new Icebox multiplayer map, which originally hails from Halo Online. The official Halo YouTube channel posted a new trailer for Halo: The Master Chief Collection’s Season 8 “Mythic” update, which is now live.

The season launch trailer gives a closer look at these new suits in action, as well as the other items and inclusions added in Halo: MCC Season 8. Classic armor customization returned (albeit in an initially gutted state) in Halo: The Master Chief Collection, and Season 8 features new Halo 3 armor pieces based on historic warriors and figures, like Norse Vikings, Greek Spartans, and even Italian plague doctors. The Halo series is well known for its cool suits of futuristic armor, as demonstrated by Master Chief's iconic green MJOLNIR armor and the franchise multiplayer's historical focus on Spartan customization.

Even with Halo Infinite on the near horizon, developer 343 Industries continues to add new maps and other content to the six-game Master Chief Collection, but the newly released MCC Season 8 will be 2021's last update before Halo Infinite’s launch in December. The new content now live in Halo: The Master Chief Collection’s Season 8 has been spotlighted in its launch trailer, which pays special attention to new Halo 3 armors, the introduction of Halo Online's Icebox map, and the addition of new Halo 3 campaign collectibles.
