Halo art director exits with ominous message — promises to share more “when it is absolutely safe”

by

Fans have been eager for news about the future of Halo, as updates to Halo Infinite have become less frequent. Halo Studios, formerly known as 343 Industries, has hinted that a major announcement is coming soon.

Earlier this year, the studio showcased a tech demo called Project Foundry, built using Unreal Engine 5. It featured updated versions of characters and assets from the original Halo: Combat Evolved, giving fans a glimpse of what’s possible with the new engine. Halo Studios also confirmed they are working on multiple new games.

The studio plans to reveal more at the Halo World Championship from October 24-26, stating that those wanting official news “won’t want to miss” the event in Seattle.

While rumors suggest a remaster is likely, given the direction of Project Foundry, it’s also exciting to consider what other projects Halo Studios might be developing.
