In recent weeks there have been several Halo leaks. First, we heard that the Halo 1 Remake would contain some new missions and enemy types not previously seen in the first game. Then, we heard that Halo 2 and Halo 3 remakes are supposedly in the works. Now, we've got …

While Halo Infinite may not have been the grand revival that Microsoft were hoping for the franchise, series co-developer Certain Affinity looked to be prepping to offer their own take on the franchise with a battle royale game. Ultimately this project never came to be, with reports claiming back in 2024 that the BR title had been cancelled. It appears rumours of the game’s death were somewhat exaggerated however, with insiders now claiming that the team pivoted and reworked the Battle Royale title into an extraction shooter.

Ever since the disappointing launch of Halo: Infinite, Microsoft and 343 Industries (now Halo Studios) have been laying somewhat dormant, with the biggest news arriving during last year’s Halo World Championships in the form of the UE5-developed ‘Project Foundry’. Ahead of this year’s championships, a Halo insider has claimed that two projects are currently in the works to be released next year.

The Halo franchise is in a bit of a limbo right now, with fans of the classic franchise patiently waiting to see what the team have been working on ever since announcing the rebranding of 343 Industries to Halo Studios. Following some teasers earlier this Summer, the team have confirmed that they will host a “deep dive” into the future of Halo at the upcoming Halo World Championships.

Following the overhaul of 343 Industries / Halo Studios, the team have teased that the future of the franchise will be shown off this October.

Following its surprise announcement last month, the upcoming 3rd-person mode for Halo: Infinite is set to launch next week on the 5th of November.

Just as how the legacy of Halo stretches back to the roots of the OG Xbox, Master Chief and co. had – in the early days – a strong presence on PC. Unfortunately, 2015’s Halo 5 never came to the platform, and we now know why.

There has been a big shake-up behind the scenes at Microsoft for Halo. After the Slipstream engine proved to be a failure that hampered the development of Halo Infinite, future titles will be developed with Unreal Engine 5. On top of that, 343 Industries is now known as Halo Studios.
