Halo fans are eagerly awaiting the Halo World Championships later this week, where new details about the next Halo game will be revealed. Now, a new report suggests that there are actually two Halo games coming in 2026 for the franchise’s 25th anniversary, and one of those titles may be a live-service game.
According to Rebs Gaming, Halo Studios is working on “a live-service long-term updating [Halo] multiplayer game,” before adding, “Its live-service component is like Fortnite.” The report didn’t offer any other specifics about the gameplay, but went on to add some comments about the way AI is used in the game’s creation.
“Generative AI is apparently woven into every aspect of development, such as enemy AI and terrain generation. I think what they’re mostly doing is that and then touching up the work with human hands. Also, developers are expected to meet similar or quicker deadlines and the only means to do so is through the use of AI, whether that’s mundane tasks like scheduling things or writing emails all the way up to actual game development.”
This is an exciting development for Halo fans! The idea of a live-service model could bring a fresh twist to the franchise. Looking forward to seeing what new features are revealed at the championships!
