American game developer 343 Industries announced that "Halo 5: Guardians" will have a new downloadable content coming this year; however, fans will have to strengthen their patience as the said DLC, titled "Ghosts of Meridian," will be delayed.
With 343 Industries continuously offering updates for its game title's, releasing "Ghosts of Meridian" is just one of the company's move of keeping their fans entertained and satisfied. With that being said, 343 Industries earlier announced and scheduled that the "Ghosts of Meridian" is to be released this month; however, it was later announced that the DLC will be moved to an April release date.
The delayed released date of "Halo 5: Guardians" next DLC saddened all excited enthusiasts, but the game developer promises to compensate them by providing game preview until "Ghosts of Meridian" gets released on early April.
343 Industries even explained through Halo Waypoint that "Typically, we've released out new content in the middle or end of each month, and this one misses that by just a few days, but the terrifying psychological effect of missing that exact monthly cadence cannot be denied!"
The upcoming "Halo 5: Guardians" "Ghosts of Meridian" DLC is expected to bring new skins, new content, new armors, new vehicles and new weapons. In addition, the upcoming DLC will also feature new assassinations, helmets, emblems and a new Skirmish at Darkstar Warzone map, Game Reactor reported.
The new Skirmish at Darkstar map is said to be located in another planet of Meridian. Senior concept artist Josh Kao has already given a glimpse on what the map should look like. Kao also explained what the new map is all about. He even went to explain that colonial reclamation is the inspiration of the new map, as it will feature unique sightlines, new routes and cover pieces.

Since the developer aims to keep the Halo community happy and satisfied, "Halo 5: Guardians" developer 343 Industries promises to reveal more details and to release more sneak peeks as "Ghosts of Meridian" nears its release date.
