The next game really risks changing everything!

The next work in the Halo series has resurfaced on the Internet and we have something new to eat. Don’t panic, it’s good news.

There has been a rumor circulating for some time now that there is talk of a new Halo game. So far so good, but it would be a bit unusual. In fact, this new work would be developed under Unreal Engine 5. For some players it’s unlikely, but others are more convinced. Today we got more information about it and it is sure to excite fans.

A new Halo on Unreal Engine 5? It is possible

Last October, the editor-in-chief of the Seasoned Gaming podcast came to talk to us about the Halo license. According to him, 343 Industries was working on a new title, but based on the Epic engine. On the other hand, he made it clear that we weren’t ready to see him in the spotlight. Development was obviously in its early stages, but we couldn’t tell for sure yet. Our man’s comments should have been taken with a grain of salt, but another clue has just been discovered.

In fact, Insider Idle Sloth noticed an interesting detail on Justin Dinges’ LinkedIn page. Little reminder: He worked for the studio as an artistic director. If we take a closer look at his history, we find that from April 2022 to March 2023 he was “ the next Halo that hasn’t been announced yet

“. However, that does not mean that we can say that it was developed under Unreal Engine 5. However, we see that the development of this new game is progressing, which should reassure more than one. In addition, Dinges has good experience in the franchise , as he worked on “Infinite” or the fourth work, among other things.

An engine change that leaves no doubt?

Several elements allow us to advance the transition from Slipspace Engine to UE5. For example Ian Slutz, lead character system designer for 343 Industries is in the process of “building assets and features for the player on Unreal Engine 5.” There’s no mention of Halo this time, so it could be a completely different project. But coincidences are increasing, even if we still have to be careful.

Finally, let’s not forget what Windows Central’s Jez Corden explained last year. “ Just to be clear: I have it from a reliable source that D. Berger has left 343i. I tend to think that this is the rest of Sean’s report about Tatanka possibly changing the engine and possibly being disconnected, but there is no confirmation yet “. Doubts remain and we hope to learn more in the coming months.
