Rumoured Halo: Combat Evolved Remake Will Include Sprint And A Dual-Engine System

"The keeper of this holy Halo knowledge is Reb's Gaming, a Youtube channel that might be small in subscriber count but is big in reliability. Reb has frequently had the inside track on all things Halo, but does point out to his viewers that they should be sceptical until an official announcement is made. In this case, Reb claims his source was at a private event where they talked to a developer working at a studio which is co-developing the Halo: Combat Evolved remake."

""To protect the privacy of the studio and the developer, my source requested that I don't share the studio's name... but what I will say is this studio previously partnered with 343 Industries to create new features for the Master Chief Collection," says Reb. Reb does specify that the mystery studio isn't Certain Affinity, and that they are involved quite heavily in the project. Numerous teams worked on The Master Chief collection, but the most likely candidates are Saber Interactive, Ruffian Games and Splash Damage. All of these studios worked on major components of MCC."

"Getting into the remake itself, Reb explains what could be the single biggest change: "The big piece of information is that the current build being tested has sprinting. Combat Evolved did not have sprint. So, if this information is true, the remake will include modern gameplay features." Amusingly, Reb says his source told the developer that they don't like the idea of introducing sprinting into the remake. There will also be some gameplay changes, specifically around the Library mission, with the goal of reducing repetition."

Multiple leaks and rumours suggest a Halo: Combat Evolved remaster or remake is highly likely. A secondary source claims a developer at a co-developing studio discussed the project at a private event. The unnamed co-developer previously partnered with 343 Industries on Master Chief Collection features and is not Certain Affinity; likely candidates include Saber Interactive, Ruffian Games, and Splash Damage. The current build reportedly adds sprinting, a feature absent from the original, indicating modernized gameplay. Some developers expressed dislike for adding sprint. Specific mission changes aim to reduce repetition, with adjustments noted for the Library mission.
