We Know When The Next Halo “Project” Will Be Revealed

Next year marks the 25th anniversary of Halo, and it’s been apparent for some time that there’s a game on the horizon. As recently as last month, Halo Studios reminded fans that it’s going to unveil some big news at the Halo World Championships. Now we know exactly when that announcement is going to come.

The Halo World Championships run from October 24-26 in Seattle, Washington. The schedule has been released, and Halo Studios will be sharing its news at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET on Friday, October 24. Halo Studios community director Brian Jarrard has also hyped it up as an update “on one of Halo Studios’ projects.”

While there aren’t any firm confirmations yet, there have been repeated rumors of a new remake for the original game, Halo: Combat Evolved. The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered developer Virtuos is reportedly working on that project with Halo Studios. While that game was previously remastered in 2011 as Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, the new version is rumored to be using a hybrid engine that combines Unreal Engine 5 and the Halo Reach Engine. It may even be the first version of Halo to hit PlayStation consoles.

Steve Downes, the voice of Master Chief, has also dropped a few hints about the upcoming announcement, without saying anything definitively. Microsoft has previously teased that multiple Halo projects are in development. During last year’s Halo World Championships, Microsoft shared A New Dawn, a trailer that revealed future Halo projects will utilize the Unreal Engine, including Project Foundry.

Outside of the games, the Halo TV series recently arrived on Netflix and became one of the most popular shows on the streamer.
