While 2025 Has Been Fairly Quiet For Halo, 2026 Will Likely Be the Exact Opposite
The Halo series has historically not followed a regular pattern when it comes to disclosing and launching new games compared to other franchises like Call of Duty. Though development for Halo: Combat Evolved started as far back as 1995, the game wasn’t publicly unveiled until July 1999 at the Macworld Conference & Expo, a full two years before its official launch in November 2001. Halo 2 was announced a year later in September 2002 at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, but due to development difficulties, it didn’t hit the shelves until November 2004. Halo 3 wasn’t officially disclosed until about two years after that at E3 2006, with the game being released approximately a year later in 2007.
