Halo Studios Reportedly Developing Live-Service Multiplayer Halo and a Combat Evolved Remake

New reports claim Halo Studios (the studio formerly known as 343 Industries) is working on a live-service, long-term updating multiplayer Halo title that would follow a continuous content cadence similar to games like Fortnite — though the leak emphasizes it won’t be a battle royale. The studio is also reportedly developing a remake of the original Halo: Combat Evolved.

Halo: Infinite launched nearly four years ago, and while its multiplayer has seen notable updates, the game struggled with delivering the originally planned long-term roadmap. Sources say a planned 10-year update strategy was scrapped amid leadership changes and a shift to Unreal Engine, leaving some longtime fans skeptical of future live-service plans.

• What’s reported: A live-service multiplayer Halo with frequent content drops (not a battle royale) and a remake of Halo: Combat Evolved.
• Why it matters: Live-service models can extend a game’s lifespan but rely on consistent support and stable leadership — areas where Halo: Infinite faced challenges.
• When we might hear more: Halo Studios’ senior community manager hinted we could learn more during the Halo World Championship (Oct 24–26).

While live-service systems are now common in the industry, fans will be watching closely to see if Halo Studios can deliver the steady updates and quality that were promised for Infinite but never fully realized. Halo: Infinite still carries a Mixed rating on Steam, reflecting divided opinions among players.
