Coming by way of a reputable Halo leaker and dataminer simply known as “Halo Leaks”, it has been claimed that Halo 2 and Halo 3 are both also getting the remake treatment. Like Halo: Campaign Evolved, these remakes will only be for each game’s campaign and not its multiplayer elements. As for when Halo Studios will next release a Halo multiplayer project, this is said to not be coming until the sequel to Halo Infinite, which is simply being dubbed Halo 7 by fans for the time being.
While this is just a rumor and should be taken with a grain of salt, this move by Halo Studios would make a lot of sense. For starters, both Halo 2 and Halo 3 remain beloved by fans and would surely thrill millions if they were revamped for modern platforms.
Beyond this, though, it would explain why Halo Studios hasn’t chosen to bring Halo: The Master Chief Collection to PlayStation platforms. As Xbox has continued to become more of a third-party publisher that releases its games on PS5, most assumed that it would only be a matter of time until Halo: MCC came to Sony’s console. Instead, it seems like Halo Studios could be choosing not to go down this route in favor of remaking each game in the original Halo trilogy. Although it will take longer for each remake to come about, Microsoft would surely make more money in the long run with this strategy compared to if it simply ported The Master Chief Collection to PS5 and called it a day.
