Anticipation is always enjoyable, according to Halo Studios,, and fans are encouraged not to miss the upcoming championship in October.
In an exciting turn of events, Halo Studios has confirmed that they are actively working on multiple new projects for the beloved Halo franchise, with official details set to be revealed at the Halo World Championship 2025[1][2][4].
### Anticipated Reveals at Halo World Championship 2025
Halo Studios has stated that the event will provide "the official scoop" on what they have been working on, though not necessarily all projects will be detailed at once. This event is anticipated to be a significant moment to officially learn about the studio's plans[1][2].
### Halo: Combat Evolved Remake or Remaster
There is strong speculation about a remake or remaster of the original Halo: Combat Evolved. This aligns with previous teasers shown under "Project Foundry" using Unreal Engine assets and comments from Microsoft CEO Phil Spencer hinting at the return of a classic Halo game in 2026[1][3][4].
If the remake materialises, it could lean toward a full reimagination of the original game, akin to Capcom’s Resident Evil remakes, offering updated scenarios and level design while maintaining the original story and tone[3].
### New Mainline Halo Entry
Beyond the remake/remaster, it is assumed there is another primary Halo title in the works, potentially a sequel to Halo Infinite. This would align with the studio’s emphasis on multiple projects, including a mainline game continuing the franchise’s story[3].
### Expansion to New Platforms
Rumours suggest Microsoft is exploring bringing Halo to new consoles like the PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2, potentially expanding the franchise's reach in coming years[2].
### Use of Unreal Engine
All upcoming projects, including the rumoured remake and new titles, are expected to leverage Unreal Engine, as highlighted by the studio's "A New Dawn" update from last year[4].
### Summary
In essence, Halo Studios in 2025 and beyond is focused on multiple projects including a highly anticipated Halo: Combat Evolved remake/remaster and a new mainline Halo game, with official details to be unveiled during the October 2025 Halo World Championship event[1][2][3][4].
