Original Article:
Multiple insiders, including the likes of Jason Schreier of Bloomberg, are saying the thing that, until recently, would have gotten you dragged through the Halo subreddit and burned at the stake with Mountain Dew Code Red: Halo: Combat Evolved is apparently getting a full remake — and it’s allegedly coming to PlayStation 5.
Yes. Halo. On a Sony box. In this economy.

Microsoft has already done the corporate version of holding a press conference and admitting, “Yeah, the console wars? We got smoked.” The company has been slowly lowering exclusivity like it’s peeling off a shame sweater in public. Starfield, Sea of Thieves, Hi-Fi Rush… the walls have been crumbling like a Jenga tower at a drunk bachelor party.
And now the crown jewel — Halo — is rumored to be the next IP handed a PlayStation passport.
Insiders are lining up like they practiced this in a group chat beforehand: there is a Halo: Combat Evolved remake, it is real, and barring a meteor strike it is coming to PS5. Not a port. Not a “cloud access if you stand on one leg and pray to Phil Spencer.” A native PlayStation release.
Why CE? Because it’s the immaculate “safe bet.” It’s history, nostalgia, and corporate brand repentance in one:
- Remake the game that made Xbox famous
- Sell it to the audience that helped kill Xbox
- Profit and pretend it was always the plan
Allegedly the announcement could drop today or sometime this weekend — which is journalist-speak for “we know but we also don’t want to be the one who gets fired if the timing changes.”
Multiple reliable sources like Bloomberg, PushSquare, and others are confident this remake exists, confident it’s multiplatform, and confident Sony players will finally get to experience Halo without borrowing their cousin’s 2003 Hamburger-Helper-stained Xbox.
Everything else — the date, the trailer, the PR spin — is just waiting to pounce any minute now.
