According to a report by TweakTown, a new Halo game is expected to be officially unveiled this Friday (October 24) and is also expected to be released on the PlayStation 5 platform.
The leak originates from insiders, including Grunt.api — a well-known dataminer in the Halo community — who claims the game in question is a remake of the original Halo: Combat Evolved. He further states that this new title will be available on PS5 and Xbox, and that no evidence currently suggests a release on the Nintendo Switch 2 or any other Nintendo platform.
Key Details
- The announcement is scheduled to happen at the upcoming Halo World Championship 2025 event on October 24, where Halo Studios (formerly 343 Industries) will offer a “deep dive” panel.
- The rumoured game is believed to be a full remake of Halo: Combat Evolved, built with modern gameplay mechanics such as sprinting and updated engine technology.
- As of now, these reports remain unconfirmed by official sources. Microsoft, Halo Studios and Sony have not made an official statement regarding a PS5 release.
What This Could Mean
If true, this would be a significant shift for the Halo franchise, which has long been closely tied to Microsoft’s Xbox ecosystem. Bringing a Halo title to PS5 would open the IP to a broader audience and potentially mark a new era of multiplatform strategy for Microsoft’s major gaming franchises. It may also indicate that the release is not just a port but a major remaster/remake built for current-gen consoles.
Why Caution Is Warranted
- All information so far is based on leaks and datamined findings, not on official announcements.
- Details such as the exact title, gameplay scope, platforms, release date, and whether it’s a campaign-only or multiplayer game are still speculative.
- While no Nintendo Switch 2 version has been found in the leaks, that does not definitively mean one won’t exist.
