Expert Verified By

Expect An Official Reveal On 24th October!

Story Highlight
  • Halo Combat Evolved remake is being co-developed by Abstraction, a Virtuos Studio, a new report reveals.
  • The remake will be based on a hybrid engine, the Blam engine for mechanics and Unreal Engine 5 for visuals.
  • Expect an official reveal later this month on October 24th.

The Halo franchise is set for new beginnings, which was desperately needed, especially after the rough patch with 2021’s Halo Infinite. Massive changes are coming to the series, and to start, Microsoft is going back to the roots, starting off with a remake of Halo: Combat Evolved.

While the project has been rumored to be in development for quite some time, new details have emerged, offering more insight into the game. Halo Combat Evolved remake is being co-developed by Abstraction, a Virtuous Studio, and will be based on a hybrid engine.

Why it matters: The Halo franchise has been sidetracked despite being regarded as one of the best FPS games at one time. A remake would certainly spark hype and attention for the series, which would be a perfect rollout for a new mainline entry that is in development.

This news comes from Rebs Gaming on YouTube, who claims that multiple of his sources have corroborated the same news that Abstraction is co-developing Halo Combat Evolved Remake.

Abstraction is part of Virtous Studios, and as the developers are known for, they usually work on ports or co-development of video games. Previously, Virtuos also helped with Oblivion Remastered.

The report further reveals that Halo: Combat Evolved will be based on a hybrid engine, meaning it will utilize the Blam engine for its mechanics and the Unreal Engine 5 for its visuals.

It would certainly make sense for Virtuos Studios to assist with the remake’s development, considering Halo Studios is busy working on a new mainline entry. In any case, more details regarding future Halo games are expected later this month, on October 24th.

Summarizing other reports, Halo: Combat Evolved is reportedly skipping multiplayer and will be a single-player experience only. Furthermore, expect it to launch on PS5 consoles as well, with Microsoft now committed to a multiplatform route.
