The latest 'Halo 5' downloadable content (DLC) dubbed Memories of Reach was released on Wednesday, May 12. Alongside the announcement of the new DLC, 'Halo 5' developer, 343 Industries, also teased fans by releasing a new footage taken from an upcoming update called Hog Wild.

Memories of the Reach is the sixth free expansion released for 'Halo 5' since the game was released in October 2015. The other five are; The Battle of Shadow and Light, Cartographer's Gift, Infinity's Armor, Hammer Storm, and Ghosts of Meridian.

Memories of Reach is a free expansion and will include two major parts. One is the zombie-themed infection mode, and the other is a new Arena multiplayer map dubbed Stasis.

The expansion will add a handful of new helmet and armor Reqs. This will include a collection which is based on the Noble Team from 'Halo: Reach.'

There are rumors that 343 Industries will be working on 'Halo 5' DLCs until June, which means that Hog Wild might be the last content that the developer intends to release. Moreover, once the team is done with 'Halo 5' DLCs, rumor has it that the focus will then shift to the development of 'Halo 6.'

Regarding the next update, 343 Industries did not reveal any specifics regarding Hog Wild. However, fans of the series are speculating that it has something to do with the Warthog vehicles used in the game.

There are also talk that the update will feature pigs, as the name suggests. During the Memories of Reach announcement live stream, 343 mission designer Tom French brought out a real live pig named Olive, according to IGN. The pig is represented in the form of a prop item in Forge. What is even more interesting is that 343 Industries took Olive to the studio to record audio.
