- Following past reports, another insider states that Halo Combat Evolved is indeed getting the remake treatment.
- He also states that the game is coming sooner than expected.
- An announcement could be made as soon as next year.
Xbox has pitched a fresh start for the Halo series powered by the switch to Unreal Engine. According to Halo Studios, formerly known as 343 Industries, multiple projects for the franchise are currently in development, with one of these expected to be a remake.
As excitement for Halo Combat Evolved Remake continues to build, an insider seems to have corroborated this information. He reveals that a remake is indeed in the works and may be released in just a few years.
Why it matters: Halo’s first remake is also expected to arrive on the PS5, so the IP’s debut on PlayStation consoles may be coming sooner rather than later.
Xbox Era’s Nick Baker recently discussed Halo’s next big release. According to his sources, the game isn’t too far away, implying that the series could return during this generation.
I don’t think it’s out next year, but I don’t think it’s quite as far away as people think.

Discussing the statement in a tweet, the insider elaborated that it referred to Halo Combat Evolved Remake. This is significant since it adds yet another credible source to the rumors surrounding this re-release.
Fans should also note that the recent Unreal Engine 5 teaser showed an image depicting Master Chief in his classic look from Combat Evolved, providing additional evidence for the remake’s existence.
If Nick Baker’s words are anything to go by, Halo Studios may be gearing up to launch the title by 2026 or 2027. This could also set the stage for an official announcement as early as next year.
With the shift to Unreal Engine 5, many expected Halo Studios to take its time for the first game. The team has been using Slipspace technology for the past decade, but the transition to Epic’s technology seems to be going smoothly, according to the report.
Halo Combat Evolved is still considered one of Xbox’s most successful titles. As such, a remake could be a game-changer for the series, and fans are excited to see where the IP goes next.
