Rather than create a new Halo game, Microsoft will resurrect and modernize the original.
On Friday, the company’s Xbox team announced it’s preparing a «full remake of the Halo: Combat Evolved campaign.» It will be available on the Xbox Series S/X and PC, but also the PlayStation 5 as part of Microsoft’s controversial strategy to go beyond console exclusives.
For the upcoming title, dubbed Halo: Campaign Evolved, Microsoft’s Halo Studios will tap Epic Games’ cutting-edge Unreal Engine 5 to improve the original, which dates back to 2001.
The company’s reveal video shows off the results: Main character Master Chief, the sci-fi environments, enemies, and gameplay have all been overhauled with modern graphics, including realistic lighting and shadow effects.
