Halo: The License Returns with a New Graphics Engine

The team behind the Halo saga is reorganizing and announcing the development of several games around the license .

It's been almost three years since we last heard of a Halo title in a video game. Despite a series launched in 2022 with mixed success, the license remains an icon in the world of video games and many fans were still waiting for some announcements around the saga.

It was during the Halo World Championship, an e-sports competition around the saga, that the former studio 343 Industries revealed the future of Halo. The studio, historically responsible for multiple games and projects around the saga, notably revealed an internal reorganization as well as a new name: Hall Studios, confirming in passing the total involvement of the teams on the license.

In addition to the reorganization, Halo Studios also took advantage of the evening to announce that several Halo games are now in development. At least one of them will also be moving to un nouveau moteur graphique, l'Unreal Engine 5, pour des rendus plus réalistes et graphiquement réussis.

L'équipe de Halo Studios en a profité to reveal some images of what the next titles in the saga could look like with the Unreal Engine 5 engine. Unsurprisingly, the renderings are impressive, but the team reminds us that this is not a real game, but a graphic demonstration.

The choice of Unreal Engine 5 will also allow the studio to facilitate recruitment internally and for service providers. This graphics engine is now widely used in the industry and many artists know how to work on it.

An announcement that should reassure fans of the Halo license, but also Xbox Series console owners who haven't had many exclusive games to sink their teeth into in recent years.
