The Halo IP is expected to undergo a complete reboot

The Halo franchise is heading for a fresh start! Now under Activision’s control, the legendary saga that made the Xbox famous is set to take a completely new direction under the leadership of the publisher of Call of Duty.

This week, early rumors were already circulating about the creation of a reboot. The Halo Studios title, which wasn’t scheduled to be released for several years, appears to have been canceled. Meanwhile, the studio formerly known as 343 Industries has been stripped of its staff. In fact, only about twenty employees are said to have remained on the payroll.

Now, journalist and insider Tom Henderson is speaking out on the matter. According to his information, the Halo franchise will be completely rebooted. He doesn’t provide any further details, but the timeline and lore established by Halo Studios will undoubtedly be abandoned.
