Recent reports suggest a new Halo game could be unveiled later in 2025. Following the 2021 launch of Halo Infinite, the franchise has remained relatively quiet. While Halo Studios (formerly 343 Industries) has diligently updated Infinite and its multiplayer component, further developments have been scarce. This could change before the year ends.
According to a report from Rebs Gaming, Halo Studios is conducting frequent internal playtests of new Halo projects. This is significant as playtests were reportedly absent during Halo Infinite’s development, indicating a substantial shift for the studio. The frequency of these playtests suggests the projects are at an advanced stage, potentially leading to a new Halo title reveal in 2025.
Halo Infinite Gameplay
A 2025 reveal doesn’t necessarily guarantee a direct sequel to Halo Infinite. Recent rumors hint at a remake of Halo: Combat Evolved being in development, potentially marking the franchise’s first venture into Unreal Engine 5. This remake could serve as a crucial learning experience with UE5 before Halo Studios shifts focus to a new installment.
Halo Series Expansion to New Platforms
Further rumors suggest the Halo series is expanding to new platforms. Speculation points towards Halo: The Master Chief Collection arriving on PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2. If confirmed, this would be a significant change in Xbox’s handling of the Halo franchise.
The Future of Halo
With numerous rumors and reports surrounding Halo, a significant development for the franchise seems likely in the coming months. While the exact nature of this development remains uncertain, the reported playtests and potential platform expansions suggest a revitalized focus on the Halo universe.
