The Future of Halo Is Unreal – Unlocked 663

Our resident Xbox crew (including Miranda!) reacts to and analyzes the huge Halo news of all future projects being moved to Unreal Engine 5 as well as the studio rebranding from 343 Industries to Halo Studios. We predict what the next mainline Halo game is, what we might get before that, how it ties into a possible PlayStation debut for the franchise, and much more!

Always nice to see Miranda again! Very excited and interested to see how Halo Studios moves forward with the franchise in Unreal 5.

Miranda is back! Unlocked feels right at home now, awesome episode this week!

Miranda has returned and 2024 has been saved

Miranda here in her opening comments about Halo is so much more articulate and informative than virtually anyone ive seen on this panel or any other, that it just shows how much she's needed and missed on this show, or on camera in general.

Been waiting for this episode since the news broke, and Miranda!!

Surprised Destin is saying halo 3 remaster. This feels like it further points at a halo CE remaster. Halo 1 magnum. That’s mark V armor, the Pacific Northwest scene looks straight out of the “halo” level.

"We know that they can deliver quality."

343 Industries, A.K.A. Halo Studios, wouldn't be in the position that they're currently in if they were known for delivering "quality."

Jerome from halo wars 2 deserves his own game

About 10 seconds in and just wanted to comment... MIRANDA!!

[JComm]

Miranda is back and a Halo discussion! What a great episode!

[IndiGo-Go]

The success of Halo doesn't solely hinge upon the presence of Master Chief but more so upon a competent studio being at the helm, something the franchise has lacked since the release of Reach. After FIVE failed projects under 343, this rebrand likely means nothing but I'd love to be wrong!

They should keep the iconic games like Halo, GOW, Forza and Fable exclusive to Xbox meanwhile put their other games like elder scrolls, COD, Doom and ... on every other platform. That makes more sense to me! By putting everything on Playstation and just offer gamepass as the only reason why you should buy an Xbox is just ridiculous and will eventually make people to move to other platforms.

Halo on PlayStation would be the last straw.

[tombolger]

Halo coming to PlayStation would be a nightmare

[joink]

Just realized you guys are going to have episode 666 released on Halloween Day. What fun luck!

[king-i]

But Xbox players ain’t getting PlayStation exclusive

[rilchu]

MIRANDA!!! Never leave! No offense to anyone but to me you make the podcast much more enjoyable

[sethfearnow]

They have such an opportunity to regain trust. But there is equal opportunity to cement distrust in 343 / Halo Studios.

Arena Breakout Infinite is a perfect example of what a UE5 FPS shooter is capable of. Really great gameplay, graphics are amazing, and the game runs incredibly well.
