Early plans included two separate Halo games
According to RebsGaming, Activision pitched two standalone Halo titles. The first was designed as a free-to-play multiplayer game. The second was entirely focused on a single-player story campaign.
Sledgehammer Games, who are best known for several Call of Duty titles, created the early prototypes to test the gameplay mechanics for both of these projects.
Now, it appears that the plans have been changed during development.
Rebooting Halo franchise?
Instead of going for the two standalone games, Activision’s Halo game is going to be a full-featured single-title game.
According to the report, the campaign might also get a soft reboot, potentially ignoring the events that happened in Halo Infinite. They will keep the earlier Halo timeline intact.
Now, RebsGaming has claimed that Activision might be considering a bigger change. A full reboot that will be centred around Master Chief’s origin story.
Conclusion
If the reports are true, then a full reboot that will be centred around Master Chief’s origin story could be a brilliant idea. New fans who don’t know much about Master Chief could be able to experience his awesomeness, while the old fans will love to play the origin story as well.
However, do remember that this information is based on a leaked report and nothing is officially confirmed by Activision or Xbox yet.
