Rumor: Halo Series Making a Big Announcement Later This Year

by

Summary

  • Halo fans may get a major announcement at the Halo World Championship in October 2025.
  • Speculation includes remakes of older games or a sequel to Halo Infinite.
  • Another possibility could be that Halo launches on other competitors’ consoles​​ instead​.

Fans of Halo may be anticipating a significant announcement this year, as suggested by recent whispers. Although the developers have been actively working on updates for Halo Infinite and its live-service, multiplayer mode that’s free, they’ve been rather tight-lipped about what lies beyond Infinite, aside from a few studio-related tidbits. Now, some speculate that there might be one or more surprises hidden in the works to be unveiled towards the end of 2025.

In the last few months, there’s been plenty of chatter and guesswork regarding the Halo series. With Microsoft making more of their former exclusives available on other systems, some folks have mused that maybe Halo could appear on other consoles, although The Master Chief Collection might not see a PS5 release, contrary to initial assumptions. Additionally, whispers suggest possibilities of remakes or upgraded versions of older games and even a follow-up to Infinite. However, the specific plans from Halo Studios are still shrouded in mystery. But fans may gain more clarity on what’s coming up soon.

On May 28th, Rebs Gaming’s gaming news channel posted a brief update stating that there are significant updates for Halo expected this fall. As per Rebs, during the Halo Championship Series Open in Dallas, an attendee conversed with a developer from Halo Studios who hinted at a major announcement being made at the World Championship in October. Previously, at last year’s World Championship, 343 Industries unveiled their rebranding to Halo Studios and announced that future games in the series would utilize Unreal Engine 5 instead of the Slipstream Engine. Given this background, it seems plausible that this year’s tournament may bring about another exciting revelation.

Halo May Get a Major Update at the Halo World Championship in October 2025

The developer, as reported, didn’t reveal any further details, but there are several possibilities for what the next significant Halo announcement might involve. Earlier this year, another member of Halo Studios hinted that a remaster of Halo 3 was not done in the past due to limitations on staff and resources within the studio. However, with those issues no longer being a problem, the company might now be open to it. Reintroducing one of the fan-favorite entries in the series would undoubtedly qualify as a “major announcement,” given that the first two games from the original trilogy already have remasters.

There are whispers that a remake of “Halo: Combat Evolved” might be on its way as we approach the game’s 25th anniversary in 2026, while some believe Halo Studios are instead developing the sequel to “Infinite,” continuing the story from where the sixth game’s campaign ended. It’s also speculated that Halo may appear on rival consoles. For now, we can only wait until the Halo World Championship in October for official confirmation from the source itself.
