Halo is finally back, because the YouTube account of the developers of the saga: 343 Industries, who has just renamed itself “Halo Studios”; uploaded a video called “A New Dawn” that talks about the general project they have in mind at the studio called “Foundry”, however, this is not necessarily about a new video game.
Although it may seem that way, according to Xbox “a new Halo game is not imminent“Well, really what was seen in this “trailer” was about the Halo Studios team explaining the new development philosophy they will have for the space war saga starring Master Chief, and how this is linked to the new video game engine that will be using, being nothing more and nothing less than Unreal Engine 5 from Epic Games.
Although there will not be a video game in the saga soon, it was made very clear in the video for “A New Dawn” that the developers will continue to support the competitive game. Halo Infinitedespite the fact that their collaborator “Slipspace” is being very slow when it comes to working on the game and that was causing them a lot of problems.
“We are disproportionately focused on trying to create the conditions to be successful in serving Halo Infinite. Switching to Unreal allows us to put all our focus on creating multiple new experiences with the highest quality possible” stated Hintze on the “Xbox Wire” blog.

Halo “Foundry”: What is it and what maps are being recreated in Unreal 5?
The “Foundry” project, contrary to what many are thinking, will not be a new video game, but rather it is more like a research test to learn how to use Unreal Engine 5 to be able to make the graphics and games of the next generation of Master Chief. They are among the best in the industry.
“The original Halo franchise was a graphical showcase, it was the best of its kind. That’s what Halo was when it first launched, and that’s what Halo needs to be again” expressed Halo Studios special effects artist Daniel Henley.
For “Foundry” 3 well-known spaces from the saga are being recreated with improved graphics, which we can see in the video; and they intend to adapt an ancient world, for which they made some forested mountains; a new one, creating a map in the snow and ice; and something very alien looking, where they made a disgusting alien place full of organic garbage. Finally, we were also able to see the classics.
“Most of what we show in Foundry is expected to be in projects we are developing or in future projects” expressed Pierre Hintze, the head of Halo Studios.
