Microsoft revealed a few hours ago a preview of what we can expect in the next Halowhich is in development and will permanently change its graphics engine to take advantage of the advantages of Unreal Engine 5 from Epic. Although these do not seem to be the only novelties that the saga will face in the near future, when it reaches us (we do not know if) for the next generation of consoles.
The fact is that Microsoft has surprisingly decided to put in our hands an interesting video in which they come to announce a “new dawn” within the franchise, since from 343 Studios, now renamed Halo Studios
Halo 7 will use Unreal Engine 5
What is clear after the video they published is that the next Halo 7or whatever name they give it, will benefit from all the technical potential of Unreal Engine 5 and in order to get the most out of this technology, Halo Studios created a working group called Foundry Project this will allow them to have part of the study exploring all the possibilities including the engine from Epic Games.
In the video, we can hear that “with several projects based on Unreal
So this is how we should approach it, not just a preview of what could be the seventh installment of the saga which, to date, we do not know if it will end up arriving on Xbox Series X|S or if Microsoft will decide to wait until having it as a launch claim with the next generation, in 2026 or 2027, when everything indicates that North Americans will try to overtake Sony to try to be in stores before the PS6 .
Halo’s new opportunity
Regardless, what is obvious is that in Halo Studios decided to wait and not rush to make a game to silence the fans of Xbox They demand exclusives at any price. Unreal Engine 5 surely needs a good period of study and analysis before getting to work and, in this way, making the most of the possibilities of a technology that has not yet reached its ceiling .
But at least we have the good news that Halo He is very much alive. So much so that the next thing we can expect Master chef It’s already giving us the teeth (and prepare your monitor to see it as it deserves). Or not?
