Unreal Engine 5 and Halo Studios combine to create “a new dawn” for Halo games

There’s no question that the Halo franchise has been in a bit of a slump in recent times with Infinite not quite living up to the expectations many had been hoping for. However, with this being said, the game is still being supported three years after release with new events and even a third-person mode entering the fray. But, fans are hungry for more Halo content and the huge announcement that came out of the 2024 Halo World Championship final might be just the ticket. This reveal was a real head-turner since not only was there a suggestion that “multiple” Halo games are on the way, 343 Industries has now become Halo Studios, and will be using Epic’s Unreal Engine 5 as its engine of choice moving forward. As you’d expect, there’s a lot to unpack here, and is potentially biggest mix-up for the franchise since it changed hands from Bungie to 343 way back in 2010. Looking initially at Halo Studios, this is essentially just a rebranded 343 Industries but one that will have “changes in culture, workflow, and how its teams are organized”.

They filed a lawsuit in Texas state court Friday in Hood County alleging that the noise from the Bitcoin mine creates a nuisance that has ruined their quality of life.
