Halo Gets An Overhaul:
The big news in gaming! After so much time, it seems that one of the most beloved franchises of all time, Halo, is moving forward and ready to wow us. It was announced that 343 Industries is making some amazing, and super interesting changes, shifting its development from the Slipspace Engine, to a powerful, popular, and very well known engine- Unreal Engine 5. And they aren't stopping there! 343 Industries changed their name, and to give us a big hint as to how things are progressing announced that "Halo Studios" has even more in the works. This means the studio is gearing up for several big new Halo games!
What Went Wrong?
If you think about how epic this franchise is, you know that it was not just Halo Infinite, a truly groundbreaking game that wasn't all that great for everyone, fans have not only enjoyed this incredible game but have had a bit of a wait, and perhaps a touch of sadness, since it was released back in 2021. That might be just a little too long for those hardcore fans! In fact, a large chunk of the fanbase started feeling disconnected. In fact, fans, might remember 343 Industries trying to bring some new exciting experiences but these developments might have taken 6 years for a somewhat lackluster launch. If anything, this is really a testament to how they have listened!
If they weren't making a move and acknowledging the struggles and giving fans hope then this might be something worth worrying about.
The Promise of Halo Studios:
What is incredibly exciting, and will bring joy to those of us that have followed this game for ages. There has been a real push to move this series in the right direction with an emphasis to speed things up, especially when it comes to developing more games!
The main hope with these new changes! Is the ability to recruit even more talent for the next generation of games!
The Halo Studios Showcase
There has been so much in the works, that if fans were a bit skeptical then this will clear the air and showcase just what Halo Studios is about to deliver.
You know it has to be epic! In an awesome video. "A New Dawn" showed the game studio really making it known just what Halo can be, featuring an impressive tech demo!
While it's really cool! Some hardcore fans might feel like it might just be a tech demo like Halo Infinite's early announcements. If it's anything like Halo Infinite. Those incredible visuals without a game in hand might just bring the fans down!
Why Fans Are Excited About Halo Studios
It appears the whole industry, not just Halo, has been trying to speed things up. That means these AAA Games really need to be done in a way that's quick, innovative and exciting!
It looks like a "revamp," for the studio. With hopes to overcome those hurdles. It really takes a big, brave leap and acknowledging past problems!
- If anyone wanted to look at those problems! Those big budget, massive releases of games. These games really need some big time in development!
If fans weren't thrilled to get this awesome Halo game that they will surely be loving! What's even better? It seems the switch from Slipspace was really one of the big pain points! This move really may be a key to fixing some of those pesky development issues, giving us the big hits in gaming!
What The Future Holds For Halo
The team at Halo gave it a try, but unfortunately, they needed to make the difficult choice of cancelling "Halo Infinite's couch co-op feature.
It's an exciting time for the franchise, though, and the team at Halo are bringing new, more thrilling elements that will continue to delight. There may be an even larger fanbase that wants the option to be more engaged with these big titles. You can even get more updates to stay current about all the great new developments!
