Halo Studios - Unreal Engine 5 Update Trailer

343 Industries has evolved. The new team, simply dubbed Halo Studios, has multiple Unreal-powered projects in development, and is entering the next chapter of the franchise and changing the recipe for how it makes Halo games.
Join members of the Halo Studios Team and go behind the scenes with “Project Foundry” - a multi-discipline research project designed to explore the creative potential of Unreal for the next generation of Halo games.

[@Eric-ro8bw]

Halo used the be THE game. Feels like they've been a few yrs behind everyone else for a while now. Hopefully they can bring it back.

[@raymondjoannette8052]

This is the last hop, the last stand, the very last chance to bring back Halo to life. To do so, they have to remake Halo Reach / 1 / 2 / ODST and 3. They have to bring back Halo to new Gen Z and more to make it back as a popular video game.

[@DESTY-N7]

​Gen Z only play souls like game now or fortnite or cod and that the truth...

[@simonmaduxx6777]

It's a good game please stop with the nonsense. Years behind who? Destiny? Oh yeah that's in a really great place right now Who else? Division? All these games have their own player bases and areas. The narrative that Halo infinite isn't doing well or wasn't doing well as a complete lie. They stumbled out the gate and got their footing just like a thousand other games out here. Now you got people lying saying the campaign wasn't good. People just lying lying lying.

​@@raymondjoannette8052 stupid idea. They got a remake old games to bring it back to being on top? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 The only game that deserves a remake based on when it came out is odst. But a straightforward remake it doesn't need to be modernized and yada yada yada.. it's always been good for what it is. If you want to play a HD version of Halo 2 you can do that right now. Why the hell would they three sources on games they literally been working on for 10 years in terms of updates. Some of you guys really need to stop by your far behind because you're not game developers you have no idea how the sources made but you got a lot of stupid ideas. Halo players are so busy being stuck on the amazingness of the early days that they can't see past it and that's what screws up halo. Everybody wanted Halo 1 in Halo 5 so in Halo 5 doesn't move the needle forward they say that the middle hasn't been moved forward. Every single Halo that introduced new stuff and actually different weapons from the old peashooters that was in every game, players revolted against that..halo gamers don't know what the hell they want but they sure got a lot of stupid ideas 😂

They were so close to touching on what really has been lacking in Halo. Sure the old Halo Games were great looking but what made them beloved was the stories and characters. Halo can look impressive but please prioritize the story and storytelling.

People don’t understand that this isn’t just about graphics. This is about performance and production. The games will be run on an engine that the studio can spend less time working on to make actually useable and more time just throwing content into. A huge problem for the studio with Slipspace is that their upgrades to Slipspace required every contracted employee to spend a lot of time learning the completely unique engine. Now they can hire people already fairly experienced with UE5 and speed production along. Maintenance will also be easier for the game because everyone has years of experience in fixing UE issues.

Looks fancy and all but the industry has reached a point where you're not gonna win over gamers with shiny graphics anymore cause all games look more or less the same visually and its getting too expensive to push graphics even further when the return is minimal.

​@@KidGreeD14It's highly unlikely it will be a mess like Infinite. UE5 is a pretty standard development software that most Dev's use when they are starting off. It's significantly easier to master it and competently build games on it (because it has engine support by EPIC) than "Slipspace" was because that engine was a hodge podge of existing Halo structure and whatever code and building blocks and of the hundreds of contractors put into it, effectively making it almost impossible to fix. They'd have to fuck up something pretty bad to do the same on UE5. The only thing most people aren't taking into account, is that the "Halo feel" might be gone as code used by Bungie will likely be scrapped.

A revolving door with proprietary tools is a recipe for disaster, as you loose finite months to upskill new talent before they can effectively do their job. Obviously 343 couldn't change Microsofts hiring practices, but by transitioning to Unreal you can hire people off the street that have immediate familiarity to your studios tools.

That studio has ran it into the ground, just kicking a dead horse at this point.

[@LarvaEnjoy]

This has me excited and I'm glad that they kept the classic art style and halo infinite art style...

[@doctahwahwee5032]

Thank god the people in the comments dont make games, it's bad suggestions and complaint after complaint and it all breaks down into "Bungo gud new Halo bad"

[@Osiris064]

We've heard this approach before. Blame the look of the game and talk about improving the graphics but not actually fixing the problems you chose to make with the games. The graphics weren't the problem. Nothing gonna change

[@itsjustme_117]

can we all agree that Whatever happens... Halo is one of the most revolutionary game ever!

[@antoniom9110]

Only when bungie was in charge

[@saynotololi]

@@antoniom9110OG bungie at that.

[@chilbiyito]

WAS one of the most revolutionary games then all it did was chase trends

[@siddharth846]

Damn, they really think graphics could make halo better, Com' on!!

[@MaryJanePSO2]

24 seconds in and we already know where this is going... in the trash.

Glad we have achieved the very basic step of using a working engine

Give us a new ODST!

Cool cool we got graphics, but I’m more worried about how the gameplay🤨.

M$ was the Halo killer, sadly.

[@gamification24]

Chris is an OG , Big respect. He helped shape the visual of Forza and many games.

[@ExcessVengeance]

This just seems like what happened the last time we were supposed to trust 343, after the Halo 5 / MCC fiasco. Honestly, as a Halo fan you have to earn back my excitement and my desire as a player to want to trust you.

[@Knoah321]

They really managed to fit all that amount of corporate talk in 6 and a half minute video. The entire thing felt like an advertisement rather than an actual genuine interview.

[@Jirizo1]

They're basically showing us the rumored Halo 1 remake on Ps5 Pro without officially announcing anything. Looks incredible.

[@GoldLBS]

@@Jirizo1 nah its probably for next Xbox. A PS5 pro version wouldn't look much better than today's visuals.

[@keronwilliams4409]

So when this new halo game will come out? 2035?

[@Kingofjune90]

Let's hope 2026 the latest

[@RokushoHasashi]

343i rebranding into Halo Studios is just amazing, and as a long-time Halo Player since 2001, I'm really excited and looking forward to a new Halo Game running on Unreal Engine 5 😊 I hope Halo Studios adds content that was cut from previous Halo Games to the new Halo Game 👍🏽 It really is a New Dawn 🌅

[@coryb7404]

This is actually pretty hype

[@Hisagi197]

This is foolish there so much push on graphics but that was never the issue with post Halo Reach. Gameplay, story etc.

[@tyjones9864]

You people are parrots with the attention spans of goldfish. This is not solely about graphics and they make it pretty clear.

[@Dunn7345]

@@Hisagi197 bro halo was so outdated compared to every major game franchise. So they create a new engine with UE5 and that’s a bad thing because the game doesn’t look like a Xbox 360 title anymore? Why wouldn’t you want both great gameplay and a better look game? Why is it bad? Also the engine allows them to build faster and more efficiently.

[@abhirao2001]

Having enjoyed the campaigns of the mainline Halo games (both Bungie and 343 titles), here's wishing the Halo Studios all the best.

[@Kaimerah]

If this is what future halo games look like… holy FUCK halo is gonna look fire

[@Texascowboy68]

Yes but the story telling and gameplay has to be good and innovative for the game to succeed.

[@Rondogz]

a halo 1,2 & 3 remake on UE would be incredible!

[@noahorton3227]

Seems like people that aren't ultra halo nerds are unimpressed. Its not a new game, its a rebrand of the studio and a move to a game engine that is WAY more popular and understood. This really is huge news for the studio and this change will allow halo to really explode if Microsoft can let it happen.

[@DionPanday]

Consumers: Can we have a good game please? You: ha look at those Halo nerds

[@tyjones9864]

@@DionPandaybruh that’s not what he was saying. I’m willing to bet a good majority of you people aren’t even “consumers,” you just know of the discourse around Halo and Xbox in general and showed up to talk down on anything they would’ve said in the video. Pretty obvious tbh

[@DionPanday]

@@tyjones9864 im willing to bet you’re just a tourist who’s never played a halo game in his life, pretty obvious tbh

[@lewiscaffrey6428]

Most excited I’ve been for Halo since the optimism going into 4. Now just tell a good story that’s fun to play: Compelling characters, interesting world, solid 3 act structure, and satisfying feedback when you push buttons on the controller.

[@sunshineprogamer]

What they didn't say in the video is that is coming to PS5 a few months after it's Game Pass release.

[@SovettaParmetta]

[@andythurman8713]

Ironically Halo hasn't been good since Bungie left

[@ricardofranco7441]

Wow, so halo infinite was abandoned but you have a whole team playing with the graphical part of unreal. That is a lot of money to throw away.

[@SovettaParmetta]

This is objectively amazing news and a Great Leap Forward for this franchise. Anyone who disagrees or hates is objectively wrong

[@dissuede6949]

Doesn't that also make _you_ "objectively wrong"?

[@isaacberger2561]

The simplicity of Halo is what made it GOAT'd. Good graphics. Good gameplay. And an exciting, engaging story about an over-the-top, badass, stereotypically amazingly masculine character that we all fell in love with. OH! And LAN PARTY'S! BRING BACK SPLIT SCREEN!
