Expert Verified By

A New Halo Title Might Release Earlier Than We Think!

Story Highlight
  • The accredited Halo insider claims that developers are already testing future projects in the franchise on a weekly basis.
  • He believes that the studio will reveal at least one new Halo game sometime later this year.
  • Many new maps for the future of Halo titles are currently in production as they continue to be developed.

A reputable insider has revealed that Halo Studios is now playtesting multiple Halo titles. Moreover, at least one new title might be announced later in 2025.

Why it matters: Halo Studios’ active playtesting of future Halo games suggests that at least one of them might be released in a year or two. Xbox is expected to unveil at least one new Halo entry later this year.

The notable industry insider, Rebs Gaming, claims Halo Studios is already playtesting new games in the franchise.

The popular Halo insider Rebs Gaming explains on Twitter that the development progress of future entries has come far enough for them to be in the playtesting stages ‘on a weekly basis.’

Many new maps are currently being developed. In fact, playtesting is a ‘key ingredient’ to the onboarding process for new hires. 

These titles were officially confirmed to be in the works in October last year, but the progress has been pretty impressive since then.

The studio head, Pierre Hintze, previously also said that the ‘next step will be talking about the games’ in the future. Based on these tidbits, he expects at least one game to be unveiled later this year.

Furthermore, the new titles may also be released on PS5. Previous rumors have suggested that Halo and other Xbox games could be coming to PS5.

Rebs says playtesting for the future of Halo games is taking place on a weekly basis.

Overall, it’s wise to take the rumors with a grain of salt since they are simply speculations about Xbox possibly announcing the next Halo game later this year. Considering the playtests, such an outcome is not that far-fetched to consider.
