It hints that the next game in the series will be a remake ofHalo: Combat Evolved, possibly rebooting the franchise after the story started to deteriorate once 343 Industries took over development.
Also on the cards for the next Halo game is aPlayStation5 launch, something that’s been rumoured for the existing Halo games for some time now.
However,speakingwith Bloomberg, head ofXboxPhil Spencer has said it’s too early to determine Halo’s future on other platforms.
When discussing Xbox’s first-party titles getting ports to the PS5 and Nintendo Switch, Spencer said: “I do not see sort of red lines in our portfolio that say ‘thou must not',” and while this isn’t confirmation Halo is coming to Sony’s platform at some point, it’s clearly not ruling it out either.

Many fans would argue it’d be heresy to have Halo on anything but an Xbox or PC, but some have grown more open to the opportunity given how questionable the quality of the last few games has been.
Halo on PS5 would bolster the fanbase, and hopefully allow for better stories to be told due to the larger audience.
