Xbox boss Phil Spencer teases the return of a classic Xbox franchise in 2026, and reports suggest it is most likely a Halo: Combat Evolved remaster with it potentially heading to PlayStation 5.

Halo: Edge of Dawn is a novel sequel that picks up the story after Halo Infinite. Written by Kelly Gay. There is also a print collection of Halo short stories coming in 2026.

A new rumor claims that the previously mentioned Halo: Combat Evolved remaster is actually a remake and that it is "not as far away" as initially thought.

343 Industries has rebranded simply as Halo Studios to kickstart a "new chapter" in the iconic series' long history, which includes multiple games in development.

After two seasons with mixed audience responses, Paramount+ has pulled the plug on its Halo television series, an ambitious adaptation of the popular Xbox video game franchise.

With discussions that Microsoft is shifting its gaming strategy to release titles outside of the Xbox hardware ecosystem, there is a new report that Halo: Combat Evolved could come to PlayStation.
