- Halo 1 remake was announced via Halo: Campaign Evolved.

Halo 2 and 3 remakes are reportedly being worked on, but no estimated release date has been revealed. The news was shared by social media account Halo Leaks; the account claims to have talked to an inside source. Earlier this week, Halo 1 remake was officially confirmed through the announcement of Halo: Campaign Evovled, a title that is slated to release on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, thereby marking the end of the console wars.
The Halo 2 and 3 remakes, according to the original source, will be purely campaign remakes. This claim is backed up by the fact that Halo: Campaign Evolved will only remake the campaign, providing no PvP multiplayer features. But if the subsequent titles follow the same gameplay model as Halo: Campaign Evolved, it will support online and couch cooperative play up to four players online with full cross-platform and progression functionality. Couch cooperative play is limited to two players.
As for Halo: Campaign Evolved, the title is being remade fully in Unreal Engine 5 with 4k visuals and brand-new story content, which includes three prequel campaigns set before the events of Combat Evolved.
The original Halo: Combat Evolved was released over 20 years ago, launching on Xbox in 2001. In the game, an epic conflict occurs between humanity and a technologically superior alien alliance known as the Convenant. The game is the very first game in the main Halo series, and it introduced the world to the iconic character: Master Chief.
