The latest round of downloadable content for Halo 3, the "Mythic Map Pack," will be released on April 9, according to a press release issued by Microsoft Monday morning.

Included in the add-on are three new multiplayer maps for the successful shooter, dubbed "Sandbox" (pictured above), "Assembly" and "Orbital."

Those Halo devotees who purchased the limited edition of Halo Wars earlier this month should have already received a token redeemable for the download, while everyone else will have to spend $10 for the DLC pack.

Short descriptions of each of the new maps can be found below.

__Sandbox __combines large-scale vehicular combat with a limitless amount of Forge customization. Boasting a tiered, open-world layout, build your own unique game experiences using the Forge map editor. Sandbox is a map unlike any Bungie has ever created.

Assembly is set in the heart of a Covenant Scarab manufacturing facility. With two identical bases on either side of this medium-sized map, it's a perfect environment for both Slayer and objective games like Capture the Flag and Assault.

Orbital, a small asymmetrical map, is set in the docking station of the Quito Space Tether. One-sided games like One
Flag, and One Bomb are sure to become quick fan-favorites, but the
Slayer faithful will also find plenty of action on this battleground.
