Next Halo Game May Be "Like Fortnite" With Live-Service - Report

The news article discusses the upcoming Halo games, including a potential live-service title and a remastered version of the original Halo: Combat Evolved. According to reports, Halo Studios is working on two Halo games for the franchise's 25th anniversary in 2026. One of these games may be a live-service title similar to Fortnite, with a focus on long-term updates and multiplayer. The report also suggests that the game is using generative AI for aspects like enemy AI and terrain generation, though this claim has been disputed. Meanwhile, the other game is likely to be a remastered version of Halo: Combat Evolved, developed by Virtuos, the studio behind the Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remaster. This new version is said to use a hybrid engine combining Unreal Engine 5 and the Halo Reach Engine, and may be the first Halo game to release on PlayStation consoles. Microsoft has confirmed that multiple Halo projects are in development, and more details are expected to be revealed during the Halo World Championships on October 24.
