Microsoft has announced that the next Halo game will use Unreal Engine 5. MS also shared the first WIP screenshots, which you can find below. Keep in mind that these are early screenshots, so they don’t show the final quality of the game. However, they do give a good idea of what the devs are working towards.
Halo Infinite was built using the Slipspace Engine. According to reports, though, it had a lot of technical problems. Overall, the game went through a difficult and long development process. On top of that, the final version didn’t live up to the high expectations that 343 Industries showed in the early previews. So, make sure to keep that in mind while viewing the following shots. While they look impressive, the final game may not look anything like them.
Speaking of 343 Industries, Microsoft has renamed it to Halo Studios. As its new name implies, Halo Studios will be solely focused on creating new Halo games.
To showcase what is possible with UE5, Halo Studios created Project Foundry. Project Foundry is not a new game, nor a traditional tech demo. As the devs claimed, it isn’t just an exploration of what’s possible with this engine. Instead, it’s a true reflection of what would be required for a new Halo game using Unreal Engine 5. It’s also a training tool for how to get there.
Before closing, MS revealed that Halo: Infinite will get a third-person mode in November. This may please a lot of people who wanted to play that Halo game with a third-person camera. Truth be told, PC gamers could already play Halo: Infinite in third-person. However, it’s good to know that there will be now official support for it.
And that is that. Naturally, there is no ETA on when this new Halo game will come out. My guess is that it will target both next-gen and current-gen platforms. So, don’t expect to be playing it anytime soon.
Enjoy the screenshots and stay tuned for more!

It probably makes it easier to hire developers who are already familiar with the language but I guess Im not sure if im supposed to be excited for a new Halo game strictly because of that. I had hoped for more single player content to be done with more friends but I guess thats just vapor now.
isnt the new studio mega woke?
Since halo 5
Stutter fest UE5
For some reasons unknown, Robocop is still the most coolest UE5 game to date. It just worked great.
It's not a stuttery mess like other unreal engine titles?
Nope.
true
Sir!!! How are you?
I’m fairing fine my son, how are you?
Bloat Engine 5.
Like Bioware as a whole, there hasn't been a good Halo game in about 15 years. I personally enjoyed Halo Reach, but many would say the last good game in the series was Halo 3. 343 itself hasn't made a single good game, why would I trust them to do it now?
Before anyone claims things will be changing. These are the three women now in charge of Halo.

Ahahaha the creture in the center, its name is Mel(anin) Is A BOONe!!
Also, the chonky slant at the bottom does a soy face not even ten seconds into the video. Pack it up folks, Halo is done for.
If Trump could just erase trash like them – send these POS Woke garbage in an express elevator to hell, as thats Where the abomination comes from!
That second image proves that there needs to be a "Primum non nocere" oath for hairdressers too.
Explains Halo Infinite.
Which turned out to be one of the best in the series.
bringing back the brute chopper, with enhancements.

on top of brining back multiple ultimate boss fights.

which was skimmed in Halo 3 down to just only 1 boss fight.

This made me laugh, thanks!
Halo Infinite did turn out to be better than Halo 3. for the record. bigger game (fact #1), more bosses (fact #2), better writing (fact #3), no visual downgrades to final release (fact #4).
Added comparison of Original Halo 3 E3 2006
Bungie developers claiming Halo 3 will be the most cutting edge game at launch.

And as you can see Halo 3's characters are definitely cutting edge……
now on to Halo 4. (made by 343)

They can't keep getting away with it.

I'm done with this world, mfkers are off their meds.
would rather play the games first. i don't expect the developers look like the games they make. Amy Henig made classic games like Soul Reaver and Blood Omen.
There better be an "Off" for the thrice-damned TAA…
will take 4 years or so..
Great another game using an engine designed around fake tricks so they can pretend the consoles can do it. UE5 has no interest in pushing tech just spoofing things so they kind of work on limited AMD HW.
People need to realize Corpos since 2020 are structurally and intentionally unable to make ART(good games/non-Prop). 2020 was a cultural revolution in the west and the Woke won. I've recently swallowed that pill in regards to Sony. PLUS another unique game engine dies to feed the Unreal beast.(still haven't played a optimized UE5 game).Sad.
UE5 the disaster that keeps on giving.
Obviously, you never played Hellblade 2…. nothing comes close to that except maybe Plague Tale: Requiem
Nobody played Hellblade 2 because that's not a game.
Uh huh, now lets see that tech demo running on the XBSS.
Great, its gonna loock fkng blurry, perfect for a shooter
Just because you change the name doesn't mean your incompetence wash away, this is still 343 at the core. The focus on visuals repulses me, that was the lesser issue in their games (i still think the Halo 4 onwards art direction is awful).
Let Halo die already, having the audacity to remake CE makes it even worse.
"next"?!
