Xbox Boss Phil Spencer Teases Return of Halo in 2026 — and It’s Reportedly a Halo: Combat Evolved Remaster

At the conclusion of Microsoft's Xbox Games Showcase, Phil Spencer revealed plans for several new Xbox titles set for 2026, including a possible remaster of Halo: Combat Evolved, in celebration of Xbox's 25th anniversary.
These announcements follow Microsoft’s 2024 shift of Halo development to Unreal Engine 5 and renaming 343 Industries to Halo Studios to modernize the franchise.
Phil Spencer revealed that 2026 will be a milestone year for Xbox, with the release of Gears of War: E-Day, a fresh installment in the Fable series, and the upcoming Forza title all scheduled to launch.
A 2024 Halo Studios video demonstrated Project Foundry, an experimental Unreal Engine 5 tech demo for Halo, and reports suggest the Halo remaster could also appear on PlayStation 5.
This lineup suggests Microsoft aims to celebrate Xbox's 25th anniversary with nostalgic and multi-platform releases, potentially expanding Halo beyond Xbox consoles.
