With Gamescom 2025, which showed a solid apartment of upcoming games, including Call of Duty: Black Ops 7IN Battlefield 6 on the horizon and Gears of War The upcoming restart is many that you can expect, because the second half of the year will start. But with the upcoming modern entries in fixed franchises, it made me think about Halo.
Almost four years have passed Halo endless He landed with some appreciation, and the developer 343 industries look as if he had attached the impression of some elders Halo Games, but also added some of their own innovations to the mix.
However, the rocky initial multi -person experience and the lack of delayed features pulled oxygen from sturdy launch and killed its long -term potential. In addition to several updates, there was no solid word about what would happen next to the franchise, which was the standard Xbox carrier since the original Microsoft console.
I do not know if we can expect a modern Halo game in the near future, which not only leaves the Microsoft Game Department without the so -called “Killer App”, but also leaves the story of Spartan Jan 117, Alias, head of the boss, Ai Cortana and antagonist Brute Atriox.
Calling in the modern Halo?
While I argued that Halo The story could end later Halo 4A strange narrative introduced Halo 5: Guardsafflicted Halo Spin-offs like Halo warsand finally expanded Halo endlessHe left fans like me, desperately need a final conclusion.
Now I understand that multiplayer is often the subject of attention, but the success of the recovery Moose Games, including the latest Doom: The Dark Egesheated reception Stalker 2: Heart of ChrolyobylHe would indicate that there is still an appetite for shooters from the first person with a huge element for one player.
And although I feel an open approach Halo endless Perhaps there was a lack of real sets with a high action of other Halo games, I still think that there is a solid foundation on which you could build and refine-finally this hook was very nice.
In October last year, the current programmer of the series 343, now changed as Halo Studios, released a film that noticed that many modern games were developed by the studio, with the transition to Unreal Engine 5 from the reserved SlipSpace engine. Both suggest that it is modern Halo Game in the works, and at Xbox Games Showcase in June, general director of Microsoft Gaming, Phil Spencer Halo The franchise can return already in 2026.
Later post on the blog to Halo point website suggested that the modern Unreal Engine 5 Halo The project will be disclosed in Halo World Championships in October. What will this game be and whether it will be one player, a multi -person or both remains unclear. It is at least a promising sign that we can understand the idea of what will happen next Halo In the coming months.
However, Microsoft’s main layoffs for the gaming department meant that I raised my eyebrows, how the company can be in the implementation of modern franchises; We can just look at the older ones Halo The games are converted by Unreal Engine 5.
I also don’t see the future in which Halo It is fully stored and we do not receive a modern game. And going under the irritation of Spencer, I see a situation in which the form Halo 7 It is revealed next year, with such a unveiling at the Xbox Games 2026 presentation as a “one thing” reminiscent of Apple to close the program.
I keep my fingers crossed for such a discovery, because I think it’s time for me and other Halo fans to “end this fight”, jumping into the armor of Mjölnir Master and close yourself Halo History with one last effort.
