Despite the circumstances, Halo Fest 2026 is still scheduled for December
, by Thibaut
We’ll have to be patient before we find out what the future holds for the Halo IP in the months and years ahead. The franchise is now in the hands of Activision, which is now working on a new installment. Meanwhile, Halo Studios has been almost entirely stripped of its staff and now plays only a supporting role.
Given these circumstances, there were questions about whether Halo Fest 2026, which is scheduled for December 12 and 13, would go ahead as planned. On X, Tahir Tashi Hasangjeka, the director of competitive engagement for the franchise, confirmed that the event will take place on the originally scheduled dates. No changes are expected.
"Jumping on here briefly to confirm Halo Fest is still on for December. No changes to dates, locations, etc.
For more details on the event, I'm going to please ask for your patience as our first priority is to provide support and care for our teammates. We will communicate more updates in the coming weeks."
