According to YouTuber Rebs Gaming, sources indicate that Halo Studios, formerly known as 343 Industries, is exploring a multiplayer experience similar to Fortnite. This would entail ongoing content updates that keep the game fresh and engaging.
Shift in Design Strategy
While the new title could share some mechanics with popular live service games, there are no indications that it will include a battle royale format. The evolution towards live service games is increasingly common, though some legacy fans express skepticism about Halo Studios’ ability to enhance the franchise.
Concerns Over Halo: Infinite
- The ambitious 10-year support plan for Halo: Infinite was abandoned due to leadership changes and a transition to Unreal Engine.
- Despite several updates to enhance gameplay, Halo: Infinite currently holds a Mixed rating on Steam.
Upcoming Announcements
In addition to the multiplayer title, rumors suggest that a remake of Halo: Combat Evolved may also be in development. John Junyszek, the senior community manager at Halo Studios, has hinted that more news about these projects is expected during the Halo World Championship, scheduled for October 24 to 26.
The next chapter in the Halo series is set to pivot towards live service gaming. Fans will be eager to see how these developments unfold and whether they will restore faith in the Halo franchise.
