\"Halo<\/a><\/p>\n

To say Xbox is in chaos right now would be an understatement.<\/p>\n

The platform holder is currently in the midst of managing mass layoffs throughout its studios<\/a>, all while its recently instated bigwigs attempt to reshape the brand’s image.<\/p>\n

It’s no real surprise, then, to learn that Xbox may also be casting a critical eye over its major properties \u2014 Halo included.<\/p>\n

This is according to in-the-know Xbox writer Jez Corden<\/a>, who claims that the Team in Green is “very, very, very heavily evaluating how Halo is run”.<\/p>\n

To be clear, Corden doesn’t believe that developer Halo Studios is in danger of being shut down like some of Xbox’s other outfits. In fact, the suggestion is that Microsoft could be allocating additional resources to its most iconic franchise as it makes significant cuts elsewhere.<\/p>\n

“Halo is a key part of Xbox’s reset plan,” he continues.<\/p>\n

Of course, this is all very relevant to us here on the PlayStation side of things. We’re just weeks away from the release of Halo: Campaign Evolved<\/a> \u2014 the property’s first ever foray to a Sony system \u2014 on the 28th July.<\/p>\n

The big question is whether this “evaluation” includes weighing up a continued multiplatform approach for Halo post-Campaign Evolved.<\/p>\n

As we’ve seen, Xbox is clearly keen to pivot back to having exclusive games \u2014 even if the messaging behind the move has been very wishy-washy.<\/p>\n

Much of this might hinge on just how well Campaign Evolved performs on PS5. After all, it’d be one hell of a bait and switch for Halo to return to its Xbox exclusive roots after doing big numbers on a rival console.<\/p>\n

What do you think the future holds for Halo? Can you see more Halo games coming to PlayStation after Campaign Evolved, or is Xbox preparing to pull the plug? Wear some green in the comments section below.<\/p>\n
