Reports Point to Halo 2 and 3 Campaign-Only Remakes as Multiplayer Shifts to a Future Title

Halo Studios has only confirmed a 2026 Unreal Engine 5 rebuild of Combat Evolved for PS5, Xbox and PC, and the new remake claims remain unverified without timelines.

Overview

  • A leaker with a recent track record on Halo says Halo 2 and Halo 3 are in development as full campaign remakes that add sprint and omit multiplayer.
  • The same source indicates competitive modes will be consolidated in a separate future release commonly nicknamed “Halo 7” to avoid splitting the online player base.
  • Multiple outlets have echoed the reports, but other reputable leakers have voiced doubts and stress there is no announcement window or firm commitment.
  • The only confirmed project is Halo: Campaign Evolved, a UE5 remake of the original game slated for 2026 with optional sprint and the franchise’s first release on PlayStation.
  • Coverage frames the approach as a business shift away from porting The Master Chief Collection to PS5, aligning with Halo’s community director saying the series is coming to PlayStation going forward.
