Are you curious about what announcement we will receive?
This is indeed a fascinating time for the Halo series. Just a few months ago, it was revealed that a significant transformation was taking place at 343 Industries, with the studio rebranding to “Halo Studios” and launching a range of new games using Unreal Engine 5. This marked the beginning of a new chapter as Halo Infinite slowly began to wind down.
Currently, we find ourselves in a state of uncertainty as Xbox enthusiasts. No timelines have been given for expecting fresh content from Halo Studios, and the visuals they showcased were merely preliminary concepts rather than anything substantial to sink our teeth into. The future appears promising, but we lack a clear understanding of what lies ahead.
This is where rumors come into play. Last year, a report surfaced in June suggesting that the studio was possibly developing a new remaster of the original Halo: Combat Evolved, and just this week, insider Rebs Gaming indicated on social media that we might anticipate at least one Halo-related announcement in 2025:
Another significant question this year revolves around Xbox’s strategy for the franchise’s legacy. Everyone is aware that Microsoft is making a considerable third-party effort with the PS5 (and possibly the Nintendo Switch 2), and recently, we have heard speculation that Halo: The Master Chief Collection could be prepared for these consoles sometime soon.
If that occurs, will Halo Infinite follow suit? Is there a chance we could see titles like Halo 5 and even the Halo Wars series on those platforms as well? If the Switch 2 is capable of being used as a mouse, Halo Wars would be an excellent fit for it!
There remain numerous uncertainties as we approach 2025 regarding Halo, and it could either turn out to be an extremely busy year for the franchise or a remarkably quiet one. Perhaps we’ll see something significant at the Xbox Games Showcase this summer? Or maybe this is just a year to draw an audience away from Xbox and PC for the first time ever…
