Rending past reports obsolete, 343 Industries officially announced the third DLC pack for Halo 4, the Castle Map Pack, to release on April 8th, Monday. The pack itself has been developed by Certain Affinity in collaboration with 343 Industries and contains three maps.

The maps in question are Daybreak, taking place amid military complexes in a mountain range; Outcast, taking place in an isolated outpost with tunnels and arches up the woozoo; and Perdition, an urban battleground. All three maps are of medium to large size so there’s plenty of opportunity for vehicular combat as well.

The Castle Map Pack will also provide 9 new Achievements, in total worth a 250 Gamerscore. Alas, there’s been no announcement regarding the return of ForgeWorld.

One can also look forward to a new playlist in War Games, which will allow for 6 versus 6 gameplay that emphasizes team play and objective combat. Check it out this Monday when the Castle Map Pack releases on Xbox Live.

Unless this is an elaborate April Fool’s Day joke by 343 Industries, then you can expect the Castle Map Pack, newest set of DLC maps for Halo 4 to release on Xbox Live on April 1st.

The pack includes three new maps such as Daybreak, a military facility situated in an expansive mountain; Outcast, which features the outdoors and canyons of an alien landscape; and Perdition, a city-like area. ForgeWorld is also rumoured to be returning with the map pack, so there’s also that to look forward to.

We do know that the Castle Map Pack be retailing for 800 Microsoft Points. If you pick up the Wargames Map Pass, you can pick it up along with the Crimson and Majestic map packs for 2000 Microsoft Points. Also, make sure you savour this one, because this will be the third and final map pack for Halo 4.

Maybe that means a newer Halo is closer than we think? It could never hurt to dream, even if it’s wild hallucinating.
