With Halo: Campaign Evolved, the remake of Combat Evolved having been confirmed to launch in 2026, replete with a PS5 launch, rumors have started circulating that the 2004 and 2007 Halo 2 and Halo 3 will also be getting a remake, supposedly also courtesy of Halo Studios. These leaks come courtesy of @leaks_infinite on X , a prolific leaker who previously tipped the upcoming Campaign Evolved game, so there's a solid chance they're legitimate. No release date has yet been revealed by the leaker's source, suggesting that the release date would still be a way out, although there are a handful of details that have been revealed.
As with the Combat Evolved, Halo 2 and 3 will be complete remakes of the games, but with the addition of sprinting and with the multiplayer game modes stripped out. Supposedly, multiplayer gameplay is reserved for Halo 7, the next modern release in the franchise, with the justification that having multiplayer in too many Halo games would result in the different games in the franchise simply competing against themselves, ultimately resulting in a diminished experience for all of the games involved. This means that all the focus for the remakes will also go into the campaigns and general single-player gameplay, which has many Halo fans excited about the prospect of the remakes.
