It’s no secret that Xbox’s current position in the video game industry is complicated. After laying off almost two thousand employees at the beginning of the year, the arrival of four of its exclusives on the Switch and PlayStation 5, and the closure of Tango Gameworks, many fans have wondered if it is worth continuing to support the company. Now, It has been revealed that a remastering of Halo: Combat Evolved could come to the PlayStation 5.
According to information from The Verge, 343 Industries is currently working on a remaster of the first Halo game, which would not only be available on Xbox Series X|S and PC, but would also come to PlayStation 5. This work will use the Unreal Engine 5. However, don’t expect to see it during the Xbox Game Showcase this weekend, since this project has only been underway for a couple of months.
Let us remember that this would not be the first remastering of Halo: Combat Evolved. As part of the Master Chief Collection, the original entry in the series received a substantial visual and performance update, which many fans consider the definitive version of the Bungie classic. Thus, 343 Industries is tasked with making it clear that the new remaster will be the definitive way to experience this installment.
At the same time, The Verge report indicates that Xbox plans to bring more games to Nintendo and Sony consoles. This initiative is called Project Latitude. This started with Hi-Fi Rush, Sea of Thieves, Pentiment and Groundedalthough it is expected that this will extend to productions that could surprise more than one Xbox fan.
At the moment, there is no official information from Xbox about the new remastering of Halo: Combat Evolved for PlayStation 5, or its plans related to Project Latitude. However, Considering everything that has happened in 2024, it would not be unreasonable to think that these leaks are a reality. On related topics, the arrival of Halo to PlayStation is imminent. Likewise, the next main installment of the series would also be available on PS5.
Author’s Note:
Something that six months ago sounded like a bad joke, today is a possibility. The day Halo comes to PlayStation will be very strange. For more than 20 years this has been one of Xbox’s great flagships, and having it on the console of its main competitor is something that can only be described as bizarre.
