About this listen

The source announces the shocking news that the previously Xbox-exclusive franchise, Halo, will launch on PlayStation 5 in 2026 with Halo: Campaign Evolved, a full remake of the original 2001 title. This unprecedented move is presented as a major shift in the console wars narrative, underscoring Microsoft's new strategy as a multiplatform publisher rather than maintaining a "walled garden." The remake itself is detailed as a ground-up rebuild using Unreal Engine 5, featuring modernized gameplay, new prequel missions, four-player cross-platform co-op, and a singular focus on the classic campaign narrative. Industry reactions are discussed, with the consensus being that the move marks a significant end to console exclusivity while simultaneously revitalizing the Master Chief brand for a new generation of players.
