Halo Studios has basically confirmed it’s working on a remake of Halo 2, likely on the same scale as Halo: Campaign Evolved, via a new cutscene. If you beat the Halo 1 remake on Legendary difficulty, you will be treated to an additional cinematic, which I’ve embedded above.

In the cutscene, Sgt. Johnson is seen relaxing on the same beach you land on in The Silent Cartographer, with a cigar in hand and a sandwich beside him. An explosion is seen off in the distance at another point on the Halo ring, and then a Pelican picks Johnson up.

He then says: “Well, that’s my cue. See you in the sequel.”

A lot like Halo: Combat Evolved, if such a project does come to pass, it’ll be the second time Halo 2 has been updated and overhauled. When the Master Chief Collection for Xbox One came out, the version of Halo 2 it shipped with was an Anniversary remaster, which is the same treatment Halo 1 received on Xbox 360.

There had been rumours of Halo 2 and Halo 3 remakes floating about just after the reveal of Halo: Campaign Evolved, so now it seems like the sequel really will get the full remake treatment.

For now, you can enjoy the first game on PlayStation for the first time. All my coverage, including my 9/10-rated Halo: Campaign Evolved PS5 review and my Halo Campaign Evolved guide that documents all the collectibles are live now:
