Microsoft appears poised to revive its iconic franchise with a Halo: Combat Evolved remaster slated for 2026. The announcement emerged during Xbox's 2025 showcase, where gaming chief Phil Spencer hinted at the return of "a classic that's been with us since the beginning." Multiple sources confirm this refers to a ground-up remake of the original Halo title.
Industry insiders suggest this won't be a simple graphical upgrade like 2011's Anniversary edition, but rather a comprehensive modern reinterpretation. Interestingly, reports indicate Microsoft may release this version across multiple platforms, potentially marking Halo's PlayStation debut.
While 343 Studios (now rebranded as Halo Studios) continues developing a new mainline Halo title in Unreal Engine 5, this separate remaster project suggests Xbox's commitment to preserving its legacy. The company's 2024 Unreal Engine tech demo apparently served as groundwork for future Halo projects.
