Summary
A prominent leaker has given a massive update on the rumoredHalo: Combat Evolvedremake, which is sure to be great news for fans of the franchise. Rumors of aHalo: Combat Evolvedremake have been flying around for a while now, but Halo Studios has never confirmed either way whether they’re true or not.
If true, releasing aHalo: Combat Evolvedremake would be an interesting first project for Halo Studios. When343 Industries confirmed it was rebrandingto Halo Studios, it also stated that it was moving to Unreal Engine 5, sharing several renders that featured keyHalo: Combat Evolvediconography. It didn’t confirm any remake rumors, of course, but it did lend some credence to the possibility of them being true.
According to prominent leaker Rebs Gaming, therumoredHalo: Combat Evolvedremakebegan pre-production in January 2024, offering a glimpse into the development cycle for the game. He also claims that the remake is now in full production, with the proof being that the studio claimed it would ramp up its hiring processes as its projects move further into the development cycle. In the time since making this statement, Halo Studios has since publicly made several hiring waves, with Rebs Gaming pointing this out.
Halo: Combat Evolved Remake Now in Full Production According to Leaker
On top of theHalo: Combat Evolvedremake details, Rebs Gaming also shared a few details about a project rumored to be in development at Certain Affinity, codenamedEkur. He believes thatEkurhas been in development since 2022, and that there are dedicated testing servers for the project that were created back in June 2024. Because of how these dates line up, Rebs Gaming believes thatEkurwill be the next releasedHalogame, as opposed to theCombat Evolvedremake. It should be stated again that right now, this is all just a rumor, so it should be taken with a pinch of salt.
When looking atwhat to expect from theHalofranchise in 2025, it would certainly be a surprise if a new game in the series were to be released. However, as work continues on projects, an announcement certainly isn’t out of the question. Gamers will just have to be patient to see what Halo Studios is working on in relative silence at the moment.
