Halo Studios to Share Updates on Future Projects at Halo World Championship 2025

Halo Studios is preparing to reveal more about its ongoing projects during the upcoming Halo World Championship (HaloWC) on October 24. Since the studio’s rebranding from 343 Industries and its transition to Unreal Engine 5, fans have been eager for concrete news on the future of the franchise.

From Project Foundry to New Announcements

At the 2024 HaloWC, Halo Studios unveiled Project Foundry, an initiative to rebuild Halo’s assets with Unreal Engine 5’s cutting-edge tools. The studio confirmed that these upgraded assets would play a role in future Halo games, though no specific titles were mentioned at the time. The 2025 championship will expand on this foundation, featuring a Main Stage segment and a Community Stage panel, both set to highlight what the studio has been developing behind the scenes.

Rumors Surrounding Upcoming Halo Titles

Two projects are at the center of ongoing speculation. The first is a potential remake of Halo: Combat Evolved, powered by Unreal Engine 5. Speculation intensified after Phil Spencer hinted at the revival of a classic Xbox title during the June 2025 Xbox Games Showcase, fueling hopes for a reimagined version of the game that launched the Halo series.

The second is the rumored Project Ekur, a standalone multiplayer-focused installment. Once believed to have been canceled, the project has resurfaced in community discussions, with some insiders suggesting it could take the form of an extraction shooter or another experimental multiplayer format.

Fan Expectations and Skepticism

While October 24 has become a date of anticipation for Halo fans, reactions remain divided. Many players remain cautious, citing years of disappointment and a lack of transparency from the developers. As one fan put it: “I have no faith in this group considering the last decade.”

On the other hand, optimism hasn’t disappeared entirely. Some fans are excited to see what Halo Studios has planned and have been sharing wish lists of games and features they hope will finally be revealed.

Looking Ahead

For now, details remain tightly under wraps. The 2025 Halo World Championship could either rekindle excitement in the community or extend the franchise’s period of uncertainty. Either way, October 24 will be a pivotal moment for both Halo Studios and the fans who have been waiting to see where the franchise heads next.
