Quadrant revealed as Halo Championship Series partner
Quadrant’s partnership with the Halo Championship Series forms part of 343 Industries’ Halo partnership programme, and will include in-game Quadrant skins and unlockables.
Quadrant has today (Thursday 29th September) revealed it will become a partnered team within the Halo Championship Series (HCS).
Founder and CEO Lando Norris will be wearing a Master Chief inspired race helmet in all sessions of the Singapore Grand Prix (30th September – 2nd October) to commemorate the occasion. A 1:2 scale version of the helmet will be released simultaneously and sold across the GP weekend as Quadrant looks to bridge the gap between both the esports and motorsport worlds. Quadrant skins and unlockables will also be available early in Year 2 of the HCS season in 2023.
From in-game items to event activations and hosted tournaments, teams on the Halo partnership programme have great opportunities to build closer relationships with their fan bases and expand their offering to their communities. Quadrant joins the likes of global esports powerhouses FaZe Clan, Optic Gaming and Cloud9 as partnered teams in HCS. Teams play a critical role in maintaining a strong esports ecosystem and Quadrant will be looking to bring its fresh approach to the fore and attract more eyeballs to one of the world’s most historic gaming franchises.
Since embarking on a journey in competitive esports in late 2021, Quadrant has become one of Europe’s leading Halo teams, having signed a top-tier squad of French powerhouses including Sebastien ‘TchiK’ Darriet, Norwen ‘SLG’ Le Galloudec, Paul ‘Nurix’ Villemont and Jordan ‘Shad’ Boyaval.
Lando Norris, Founder & CEO of Quadrant, commented: “It’s really exciting for us to announce that we’ve become a partnered team in Halo. The whole team has worked incredibly hard to get to this stage, and I’m really proud of the success our roster has had this season. I’ve watched almost every tournament game and scrim over the past few months and it’s been awesome to be a small part of their journey in the HCS so far.
“Being able to see our own Quadrant skins and items available in-game is surreal and for our first game to be such a historic title as Halo just shows how far we have come as a company in such a short space of time.”
Tahir “Tashi” Hasandjekic, Esports and Viewership Lead at 343 Industries/Microsoft, said: “The initial success of Halo Infinite esports has been unprecedented in the franchise’s history and we’re thrilled to be adding a team with the calibre of Quadrant, who have already invested heavily in the Halo community and ecosystem.
“Their driven leadership has a clear vision, and we believe in the long-term potential for this partnership to elevate both Quadrant and Halo Infinite by delivering epic entertainment to fans around the globe.”
Jamie MacLaurin, Chief Gaming Officer of Quadrant, added: “We are delighted to have been accepted onto the HCS partner programme. This is a huge moment for Quadrant – to be rubbing shoulders with some of the biggest names in esports in just our first year as a competitive esports organisation says a lot about the work we have been doing behind the scenes. We hope to bring something unique to the programme and we look forward to working closely with the Halo franchise in the months and years ahead.”

THE BATTLE OF POLYTOPIA RELEASES NEW AQUARION SPECIAL SKIN IN LATEST UPDATE
Midjiwan, the award-winning independent studio behind The Battle of Polytopia has today released a new Aquarion Special Skin, additional language options and balance updates to the recently reworked Aquarion tribe. Players will dive deep into the Ritiki Marshlands encountering a lost Aquarion outpost with the new skin known as “The Forgotten”.
Long ago, when the Aquarion Empire vanished beneath the waves. One remote outpost in the swampy atolls lost all contact, leading its inhabitants to believe they were the last of their kind. This forgotten tribe evolved in isolation, adapting to the marshy landscapes with squid-like appendages and unique abilities to command the swamp and its creatures.
Using the unique abilities of “The Forgotten”, players can build on water, summon giant squids, create speed enhancing bubbles, ride crocodiles, tame toads, and traverse their marshy terrains with ease.
In addition, the latest update to the game now offers expanded language options: Hindi, Indonesian, Malay, Polish, Thai, Turkish & Vietnamese.
Christian Lövstedt, CEO of The Battle of Polytopia, commented: “I feel that this skin is one of the best we’ve created and has quickly become my personal favourite. Additionally, we have added Bubble Tech to the Aquarion Waterways, making that tribe even greater. With expanded language options and new gameplay mechanics, we’re inviting players to dive into the rich lore and strategy that make the Battle of Polytopia truly special.”
To celebrate the launch of the new update, Midjiwan hosted an exclusive livestream event, offering fans a unique look behind the scenes, live gameplay, and discussions with the development team – the livestream is available to watch now: The Forgotten livestrea m by Midjiwan.
