If the recent string of claims from leaker leaks_infinite is right, Halo’s remaster story is getting bigger than we thought — and different. What started with Halo: Campaign Evolved may be only the opening move. According to the leak, the campaigns for Halo 2 and Halo 3 are also being remade, and crucially, they’ll follow the first remake’s lead by offering optional sprint. That alone changes how those classic encounters might feel — a little faster, a touch more modern — while still aiming to preserve the bones of the originals.
Why multiplayer might be missing
Here’s the interesting trade-off: Halo Studios reportedly doesn’t want to fragment the player base across multiple multiplayer experiences. So, rather than remaking each game’s PvP suite, the plan would concentrate multiplayer into a single future release — tentatively called Halo 7 by some sources, though that name might not stick. The idea makes sense from a community standpoint. Would you rather split thousands of players across rival remade lobbies, or funnel energy into one polished ecosystem? It’s pragmatic. It’s also a little sad if you loved the old maps and modes in their original multiplayer forms.
Halo 7: sequel, collection, or something else?
Leaks suggest the seventh mainline entry will act like a sequel to Infinite, with a standalone campaign and a multiplayer ecosystem that might launch separately — a model we’ve already seen with Infinite’s paid campaign and free-to-play multiplayer. Developers formerly known as 343 reportedly have more than four projects in the works, so this could be part of a broader strategy: remakes for single-player nostalgia, plus a modern hub for multiplayer.
What Campaign Evolved brings first
Campaign Evolved leads the charge: Unreal Engine 5 visuals, updated mechanics borrowed from later games, optional sprint, new weapons, and three new prequel missions added before Combat Evolved’s opening. It’s coming to PC, Xbox, and — for the first time — PlayStation 5 next year.
I’m cautiously optimistic. Remakes that respect pacing while carefully modernizing mechanics can shine, but removing classic multiplayer from remakes risks leaving a lot of fans hungry. What do you think — should multiplayer have been preserved in each remake, or is a single, unified multiplayer the smarter path? Leave a comment and tell us.
