A New Halo Incoming? Leaks, Remake & PS5 Multiplayer: Here’s What We Know
As Halo’s biggest esports event approaches, fans brace for major news and a leak hint that a full Unreal Engine 5 remake of the original Halo could steal the show.
A Modern Rebirth for a Gaming Legend
As the Halo World Championship approaches, excitement among fans is reaching new heights. According to insiders, 343 Industries and Virtuos are reportedly working on a complete Unreal Engine 5 remake of the legendary Halo: Combat Evolved.
This wouldn’t be just another remaster like the 2011 Anniversary Edition — but a ground-up rebuild with modern graphics, physics, and gameplay mechanics designed to meet today’s standards.

Sprinting Into a New Era
The reliable leaker account Halo Leaks on Twitter (X) claims the remake will feature modern gameplay elements, including sprinting — a first for the original campaign. While small, such a change could dramatically alter how players experience Halo’s opening chapter.
Even more intriguing, the leak suggests the project aims for the same remake quality as the Resident Evil series, reimagining levels and AI to match 2025 hardware.
I can definitely confirm the Halo CE Remake will have sprint & “modern gameplay mechanics”.
I’m of the belief it’s gameplay will be similar to the new Halo Multiplayer game, which I also believe is Halo 7’s MP. — Halo Leaks (@leaks_infinite) October 13, 2025
Could the Halo Remake Arrive on PlayStation 5?
Perhaps the most surprising detail is that the Halo: Combat Evolved remake could also launch on PS5. If true, it would mark the first time a mainline Halo title appears on a non-Xbox platform — a huge strategic shift for Microsoft.
Halo Leaks even adds that the remake’s combat feel will resemble Halo 7’s rumored multiplayer, suggesting both games might share the same engine or core systems.
What About Halo 7?
The same leak hints at the existence of a brand-new mainline Halo title, likely the follow-up to Halo Infinite. While no details are confirmed, multiple insiders point to several unannounced Halo projects in development, possibly including a live-service multiplayer mode.
Fans won’t have to wait long: the Halo World Championship (October 24–26) is expected to bring official news about the franchise’s next chapter.
Mark your calendars – The Halo World Championship kicks off next Friday!

In Conclusion: Why a Remake Makes Sense Now
Reviving Halo: Combat Evolved with modern visuals and controls could do more than celebrate its 25th anniversary — it could reignite global interest in Halo after a rocky few years for 343 Industries. Unreal Engine 5’s technical capabilities might finally allow the studio to merge nostalgia with cutting-edge gameplay.
Do you think Halo should stay Xbox-exclusive, or should the series expand to PlayStation? Share your thoughts in the comments — the debate is already heating up among fans.
