The recently surfaced rumors, reported by Wccftech, suggest that a full-fledged Halo: Combat Evolved remake is being planned for release in 2026, coinciding with the series’ 25th anniversary. Development reportedly began in 2023, and the remake is being built in Unreal Engine 5. In a detailed breakdown by Insider Gaming, it’s revealed that the remake is still early in development, with insiders linking it to “Project Foundry”, 343’s internal Unreal Engine 5 research initiative.

The community’s reaction reflects a mix of nostalgia and skepticism. One Reddit user noted, “Halo CE remake will only feature a campaign mode,” lamenting the absence of multiplayer. Halo is one of the gaming greats that defined a generation and helped launch Xbox to what it is today. The studio that made Halo went on to make Destiny and Destiny 2.
