With the franchise having somewhat of a mixed reception in recent years, especially with the arrival ofHalo Infinite,this could be the change the long-running FPS series needs.

Alongside the announcement, Halo Studios also released a teaser trailer of Master Chief and he is looking as good as ever in hisHalo: Combat Evolvedarmour.

However, with Halo formerly being anXboxtitle, it could now be making its way to thePS5.

If this is true, Halo’s shift to Unreal Engine 5 would make this the perfect opportunity for the next entry to head to the PlayStation 5.

This will mark the first time that a Halo entry will arrive on a Sony console but with Microsoft working on sharing more games outside of exclusivity, this would be an expected decision.

For now, we can look forward to another announcement from the-now Halo Studios. Until then, it is hard at work recruiting new talent as it will be “changing the recipe” on how entries are made.

Will we get theHalo: Combat Evolvedremake or a brand-new title completely?
